Don’t go ballistic! Study reveals how anger can increase heart attack, stroke risk
New research suggests keeping your cool is crucial for cardiovascular health. A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that anger can temporarily impair blood vessel function, potentially increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
The study involved 280 adults who were asked to recall either an infuriating event, something anxiety-provoking, a saddening scenario, or remain emotionally neutral. Researchers monitored blood vessel health before and after these tasks.
The results were clear: anger significantly reduced blood vessel dilation (the widening of blood vessels) for up to 40 minutes, hindering proper blood flow. This is concerning because adequate blood flow is vital for healthy heart and brain function. Heart attacks and strokes often occur when blood flow to these organs is blocked.
