The festive glow of twinkling lights and joyous songs often mask the holiday season’s hidden stress and emotional challenges. This underlying pressure, frequently ignored amid the celebrations, may precipitate a serious, yet lesser-known condition: holiday heart syndrome.

Recognizing and understanding these psychological factors is key to protecting our heart health during this special time of year.
