Simple Guide To Heart Attacks
The Stress Factor
HEART ATTACKS: THE STRESS FACTOR
A Simple Guide
Of all the major stresses you can have in mid-life, a heart attack is one of
the biggest! And it’s well known that stress can bring on a heart attack in
those who are at risk.
RIGHT AFTER a heart attack we have very effective treatments to limit
heart damage and to prevent future events: drugs to control heart rate,
cholesterol, blood pressure and heart rhythm.
But one of the biggest risk factors that is sometimes neglected is
depression, linked to the stress of the event and possibly existing before
it. Your doctor will strongly recommend changes in lifestyle such as
giving up smoking, limiting alcohol, and losing weight with a healty diet
and graduated exercise. But chronic stress makes it much harder to make
these important lifestyle changes.
SO, put the right person in charge of stress: YOU!
This book shows you in simple language that there is much you can do to
take charge.
You start by:
• UNDERSTANDING stress symptoms and how they affect your heart
• TAKING CHARGE of your stress levels
• WORRYING Effectively. Identifying your sources of stress
• USING effective PROBLEM-SOLVING and DECISION-MAKING ideas
Then you'll learn:
• To RELAX - Deeply and Quickly, when stress is high, or when you need
some sleep
• Powerful MENTAL IMAGERY techniques to help you make the changes
you want
• FOUR HABITS for better Health & Energy
• ELEVEN Powerful ATTITUDES that help you not only cope but thrive on
adversity

You'll know how to:
• Identify and control painful EMOTIONS and HABITS that create inner
stress, especially DEPRESSION and FEAR OF DEATH
• Find SUPPORT from family, friends and especially your MEDICAL
TEAM

Will you see your heart attack as a depressing disaster or a great chance
to become healthier and happier than you would otherwise have been?
