Synopsis

Heart Disease Science and Spirituality In the treatment of coronary heart disease it is astonishing to find how the inner strength of an individual is a vital helpful factor in improving his physical state. Ordinarily the spiritual aspect of an individual lies unrealized and unexploited in the fierce struggle of existence where the activities of the body and the mind reign supreme. The sole occupation with the activities of the body and the mind alienates an individual. The more intense the activity, the greater is the tendency of negative and harmful emotions of anger, hostility, resentment, jealousy, fear, vanity, selfcentredness and cynicism to flourish. It is intriguing to note how these negative emotions affect the health in general and the heart in particular, resulting in the narrowing of the coronary arteries, increase in the stickness of blood elements, increase of bad cholesterol (LDL) and reduction of good one (HDL). These emotions also lower the heart rate variability (HRV), increasing the proneness to sudden death in patients of heart disease with a history of heart attack.
