Check out the results of a study by the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio who found the relationship between anger and heart attacks.
The findings of the study found that students who were angry quickly under stressful conditions were 3 times more likely to develop heart disease and 5 times more likely to suffer a heart attack early.
The study was conducted by Jerry Kiffer director of the Psychological Testing Center at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, lasted 36 years, was attended by 1, 337 medical students were male.
Study participants were sent to Jerry Kiffer, when their anger levels were observed by others (doctor or spouse), or the patients themselves recognized that their anger or stress level was above the limits.
“Men are more likely to act angry when they are stressed, due to cultural factors and their tendency to want to control circumstances.
Unfortunately not recognize the link between stress and anger until a heart attack gets their attention, “says Kiffer.
The findings of the study responded to the question how can an angry shock the heart?
“When you’re angry your body reacts as if he was threatened and is in need of defense, but you can not go and attack someone every time you get angry, like a surge of adrenalin which does not go out, like you’re in high, the red light with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake, the tires start twirling around unable to move forward, the same happens in your body when you get angry and do not have a way to channel that anger and then your nervous system is affected, “says Kiffer.
When you are angry, the body releases cholesterol and a variety of chemicals called catecholamines, which accelerate the development of fatty deposits in the heart and carotid arteries.
Another finding of this study is that anger is a risk factor of the same magnitude as smoking, obesity and lack of exercise for those who have a history of heart disease in the family.
