Hi there,

Unbelievable but true. Definitely pays to be stop and smell the roses!

Relax, don't have a heart attack!

Depression and negative emotions seem to worsen cardiac health, whereas a good laugh might improve blood vessel function. Clues from new experiments could help explain why and suggest better treatments for heart disease. Amy Coombs reports.

The way Hollywood tells it, heart attacks typically strike after fights with spouses or in the wake of sudden, shocking events. With fists clutched to the chest, the lead character struggles as emotion literally overwhelms the heart and stops it from beating. Researchers now believe there may be a shred of truth in this Hollywood cliché. However, although cardiac events are sometimes linked to sudden emotional stressors, the researchers suspect the culprits are more often the long-term, chronic forms of depression and anxiety.

"The evidence keeps growing stronger. It's no surprise that anxiety factors in, as well," says Frasure-Smith, who also conducts research at the University of Montreal.

Your health.
