Stern told an American Heart Association seminar

' although only one of every

patients were women. Most -

were hospitalized again with a cardio-vascular com- plication and more than half failed to return to work or previous levels of sexual activity.

“Married women suffered a further complication in that they were frequently overprotected by zealous husbands who forbade them to do even light housework as well as denying them sex in the mistaken belief that
