Marital Discord Can Cause Broken Heart

From USA Today:
Couples who routinely trade nasty or controlling remarks during marital spats might be harming their hearts — and not just emotionally, a study suggests.
The findings fit in with a body of research suggesting that hostile and domineering men and women are at risk of developing heart disease, the No. 1 killer in the USA.

"This kind of anger can be bad for the heart," says Redford Williams of Duke University, an expert on anger management. Williams and others have shown a link between anger and heart disease.
