You woke up early in the morning… ate your breakfast hoping for a nice day at work only to find out that nothing has been done right! The sudden surge of cathecolamines causes the feeling of heat that eventually results into anger… Now… hold on… calm down… and take a deep breath! Because Anger can be bad for your health!
A recent webcast form the American Heart Association Scientific Session showed a study funded by the National Institute of Health that ” acute episodes of anger may cause potentially fatal heart rhythm disturbances.”
This study involved more than 30 medical centers around the United States and patients were asked about their lifestyle habits and medical histories. These are patients who have implanted defibrillator and were then asked to record anytime they receive a shock and to record circumstances during that episode.
- 3.2 times more likely for irregular heart rate if pt is moderately angry, as compared to periods of no anger
- 16.7-fold increased risk of having the arryhthmia if participants were very angry and furious.
In conclusion, the authors have this to say….“Our results suggest that emotions, particularly anger, can trigger dangerous rhythm disturbances.” And therefore can be fatal!
“Next time you are about to blow up… ask yourself this question …
Is the Cause of Anger Worth The Risk?
