It is generally believed that by reducing the physiological demands upon the damaged myocardium to a minimum the danger of rupture is decreased and the likelihood of repair is enhanced.The postmortem findings in a series of ambulant mentally ill persons in whom sudden collapse and death were unexpected because of absence or perversion of subjective reaction to visceral disease have provided striking confirmation...Bibliography1.
