             Thanks to one of my favourite writers, @Leigh_KC, for the opportunity to chat about adult congenital heart disease and health-related anxiety. 
           Do you get anxious about your heart? Youāre not alone. Health-related anxiety is common among adults with congenital heart conditions. Psychologist @AdrienneK_PhD spoke with me about what it is and how to manage it. Read more š  https://t.co/6cwWbA3veo

             Such important findings: "Participants noted that information about brain and heart health should be a ābalancing actā between avoiding feelings of worry about the futureās uncertainty and empowering persons living with CHD." 
           š§  There is a pressing need for better education about brain health among people with Adult Congenital Heart Disease. These findings help to address the brain-heart axis and neurocognitive problems in #ACHD. š  https://t.co/vUGayutu8H
