Drs B Lown, R Verrier and R Corbalon (Harvard School of Public Health) link Pavlovian methods and Amer technology to unlock secret of sudden death by heart attacks; 400,000 Amers die sudden deaths each yr, mostly from heart attacks due to underlying arteriosclerotic heart disease; research team indicates that psychological stresses can exert profound effect on heart that is electrically unstable due to damage resulting from disease acquired during life, or to defect present from birth in nerve cells that conduct impulses to make heart beat irregularly; has been able to study brain's influence on heart with precision previously unavailable; can accurately record cardiovascular responses; experiment with dogs described; researchers began series of on-going studies under grants from Inst of Mental Health to learn how everyday stresses could be relayed through body to trigger cardiac arrest and sudden death; Lown says it is becoming clearer that major trigger in abnormal heart rhythms is not heart, but brain and central nervous system; found that stimulation of mid-brain can provoke serious abnormal heart rhythms in normal heart; Lown says his team has developed exercise and other tests to identify and then treat with drugs those humans whose electrically unstable hearts make them most susceptible to risks of sudden death; US and Eur communities have started mobile coronary units and trained firemen, police and others to resuscitate people on the sts; drs have learned that sudden death often occurs in absence of customary heart attack, but is apparently result of temporary instability and is poorly understood; many victims are resuscitated immediately and survive for many yrs
