【 摘 要 】

The experience of cardiac patients' family members and especially patients' partners—who are potential trauma victims—is an issue which has received almost no attention in the literature. I wish to draw attention to this fairly substantial at-risk population, a population which has been neglected both in the trauma research as well as by practitioners.
