\"YoungWe all know what happens emotionally<\/em><\/strong> when you lose your temper. But what happens physically<\/em><\/strong>, to your heart?\u00a0<\/p>\n

A new research study did a clever thing, and reviewed the cases of over 13,000 stroke patients in 2 countries as part of the INTERSTROKE study. They wanted to see what happened just before the stroke (within one hour), to see if there were any patterns that popped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They discovered that 1 in 11 survivors experienced a period of anger or upset in the 1 hour leading up to the stroke.<\/p>\n

\n

Anger’s not benign,<\/h3>\n

for body nor the mind.\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why This Is So Good To Know<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statistics are staggering.<\/span> The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that someone has a stroke every 40 seconds and someone dies of stroke every four minutes. This is among almost 800,000 people in the US who have a stroke every year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are long term lifestyle factors that affect your risk, but we all know these — eat well, eat in control, be active, practice stress management, reduce high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But this new research shows what’s linked to a potentially life-threatening cerebral stroke from just 1 hour before! In fact, these results suggested that anger could increase your risk of stroke by 30% in the hour after that strong emotional upset occurs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Acute anger or emotional upset was associated with the onset of all stroke, ischemic stroke, and ICH (<\/em>intracerebral bleeding), while acute heavy physical exertion was associated with ICH only<\/em>,” the authors wrote. It didn’t matter what region the subjects lived in, their prior cardiovascular disease history, other risk factors, cardiovascular medications, time or day of symptom onset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your Take-Home Message<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, you should still practice the long term lifestyle approach: eat well, move more, and practice mindfulness in your everyday life. But knowing that anger outbursts could be life-threatening is a wakeup call for those we love to manage those kinds of outbursts.<\/p>\n

Say it with me:\u00a0 Anger’s not benign, for body nor the mind.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n
