Cardiac Spouses When we talk about heart disease, we mainly speak in terms of prevention, treatment and rehab for the patient. This is in part because there is no medical structure in place to address the spousal issues. Research shows that outcomes of the cardiac patient are not only determined by their physical attributes, treatment, and their own outlook, but by the people around them and caring for them—specifically the spouse. |
