Be careful, the perception of stress can trigger heart attack - Assumption that stress and depression can affect health, certainly reasonable for everyone. However, a study reveals that this is precisely the sort of assumption can be dangerous. Research shows that people who believe stress can affect their health more vulnerable heart attack.
Researchers found that people who have such a negative suggestion twice the risk for heart attack compared to people who do not believe that stress can affect their health.
"The perception that one has of how strong the effect of stress on their health could be true. Yet if this perception that they have, they should immediately take action to check their heart health," said study author Hermann Prophet, of the Centre for research in Epidemiology and Population Health at INSERM, France, as reported by U.S. News.
However this study did not look at whether the person's perception of stress associated with cardiovascular disease. In addition it also does not explain by reducing the perception of stress or reduce stress can reduce the risk of heart attack.
In this study, the team collected data on 7,000 Prophet men and women since 1985. They were asked about the perception of stress and their health. In addition, researchers also measured levels of stress and considering other factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, diet, and physical activity.
It seems more research is needed to clearly define the relationship between a person's perception of stress with heart disease they experienced. In addition, researchers also will investigate to determine whether reducing stress or changing perspective can reduce the risk of heart attack.
