Does emotional upheaval affect the heart? Can love, or chocolate, really heal our heart problems? And why do we know so much about heart attacks in men, when they are more fatal in women?
Join Dr Nikki Stamp as she discusses her new book Can You Die of a Broken Heart? - an exploration into the inner workings of the heart and how emotions and lifestyle affect every beat. Dr Nikki Stamp will be speaking in conversation with Will Yeoman, Curator of Perth Writers Week.
