ABSTRACT
The objective of the research was to explore the effect of humor as a coping strategy in cardiac patients. It was hypothesized that humor as a coping strategy would be positively related to reduction of the perceived stress associated to the cardiovascular problems; there would be a gender difference in the frequency of using humor as a stress coping strategy. A sample of 48 patients [24 males and 24 females] suffering from Cardiovascular disease were selected through purposive sampling from different hospitals of Karachi city [Pakistan]
