Abstract

In our language cor - heart - evokes what jumps inside the chest, what our patients called butterfly, an expressive metaphor. The expression rocket amare refers to the loving feeling that is supposed to reside in the heart. Martí said that "when one tries to paint the heart, all its fibers must be known", since love is multiform. For the doctor, it is pathology.
