Emotional distress increases stroke risk by 30 percent: Study

The results of this study have been published in the European Heart Journal.

The study has been carried out in partnership with the National University of Ireland.

A new study has found that anger and heavy physical exertion may be one of the factors leading to stroke. In a study conducted in partnership with the National University of Ireland, scientists found that many people experienced anger an hour before a stroke.

The results of this study have been published in the European Heart Journal. Professor Andrew Smith, one of the study’s lead authors, said: “Stroke prevention is a priority for clinicians, and despite advances, it is difficult to predict when a stroke will occur. Many studies have focused on medium- to long-term risk. such as high blood pressure, obesity or smoking. The aim of our study is to look at acute exposures that may act as triggers.” Smith is Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at NUI Galway, Director of the HRB-Clinical Research Facility Galway, and Consultant Nephrologist at Galway University Hospitals.

Andrew adds that researchers have found that emotional distress increases the risk of stroke by up to 30 percent. People who do heavy physical exertion have a 60 percent higher risk of stroke. “We looked at two different triggers. Our research found that anger or emotional distress was associated with an approximately 30% increase in stroke risk during the hour following an episode – more if the patient did not have a history of depression. With the increase. Barriers were even higher for those with lower levels of education,” wrote Andrew.

In the research, which was part of the Global Interstroke Study, more than 13,000 cases of severe stroke were analyzed. 32 countries, including Ireland, were part of the study.

According to Andrew, the study also concluded that there was no increase in risk for both anger and heavy physical exertion.
