For example: Suppose an en-

what is Q hypochondriac? A
simple definition is: A person
who is abnormally scared about
himself. Take the case Of q 49,
Iyear-old lawyer who has become
so afraid that he can no longer
try cases In court.
IF these scared feelings con-
tinue, my careers ruined" he
said.
How long have you had
them?" I asked: "And what are
you scared about?"
II considered myself q pretty
self-assured fellow until about
10 year ago. One day in court
I got shaky while cross-examin-
ing Q witness. There seemed to
be no reason for 1t, except

worrying about my father who
subsequently died Of a coronary
attack. He had been sick for
years"
"Then what did you notice?"

Imaginary Heart Trouble
1t was evident after q COM
lplete pathological survey that he
was not suffering from organic
heart disease; he was a victim of
imaginary heart trouble. What
had instilled this fear?
Well. what makes a man with
recurring headaches begin to
fear they are caused by q brain
Itumor? And why does q man
who burps once or twice fear
gall bladder disease? And an
other who has indigestion for q

ZACH?
The answers can be found
somewhere in the emotional and

What happens to the heart
during fainting? How do emo
tons affect the heart? How does
the body maintain a blood sup
ply to the heart and brain under
conditions of disease and physi-
cal stress? How does salt affect
blood pressure? What is the cas-
lest way to bypass blood from
the heart during operations, so
surgeons can work in a dry
field?
These are some of the ques-
tons being explored by medical
scientists in North Carolina,
which is fast becoming an i'm
portant center for heart re-
search. More than half a million
dollars was spent on this work
in the state last year, and the

fiscal year promises to surpass
this sum.
