| Heartache of St Valentine's Day
Does heartache really exist or is it all in the mind? What are the physical effects on the heart, body and brain and can we really die from a 'broken heart'?Such contentious issues associated with the pain of heartache were discussed at an event on 11 February 2004 hosted at the Dana Centre. Led by a panel of distinguished medical professionals and advisors to the lovesick and heartbroken, the event brought together an invited audience to explore the occasions when medicine fails to provide the answers. SPEAKERS Barbara Myers (Chair) BBC Radio 4 Presenter Martin Cowie Professor of Cardiology, Imperial College Philip Evans Professor of Psychiatry, University of Westminster Brian Hurwitz Professor of Medicine and Arts, King's College London Virginia Ironside Columnist for The Independent Louisa Young Author of 'The Book of the Heart' | |
