It must be stressed that what disturbs the patient may seem rather unimportant to the physician, to whom a solution to the problem may be immediately evident. It should be remembered, however, that any solution must come through the patient's efforts, using whatever capac¬ ities he has, and also that any advice given must be on this basis. SUMMARY The treatment of heart disease due to anxiety consists of relieving the patient's anxiety and his cardiac aware¬ ness. Some long-standing or recent conflict is sought; the tension and anger connected with such conflicts are expressed, and their relationship to the palpitation, tachy¬ cardia, and weakness is pointed out.
