Heart patients must avoid stress
It’s something we thought we already knew, but now a team of American researchers has provided definite proof. Anxiety in people suffering from cardiovascular disease doubles the risk of a heart attack and therefore death. Particularly in the long term.
Earlier studies had already shown the existence in women of a link between a state of anxiety and the risk of myocardial infarction. Professor Charles Blatt of Harvard Medical School in Boston conducted a study on 516 patients of both sexes suffering from coronary disease. The results demonstrate a doubling in mortality among those with anxiety and leads the author to insist on “the need to monitor closely patients who are particularly anxious and offer them a strategy that will help them reduce stress.”
