A
heart attack is often fatal, and even if life is out of danger, great care is
needed, otherwise, there is always a risk of another attack.
You
may know that a heart attack strikes a person suddenly and often results in
death.
Men
with severe fatigue have a much higher risk of heart attack than others.
Exhaustion
is linked with an increased risk of a heart attack in men.
This
was revealed in a new medical study.
Research
has shown that myelo-cardiac infarction (dysfunction of the cardiovascular
nerve that results in blockage of the blood supply to the heart) causes
fatigue. It is more common in unmarried, divorced, and widower.
The
study by Russia’s Institute of Cytology and Genetics found that extreme
fatigue, lethargy, and increased irritability were the main symptoms, but
people thought it was due to life’s issues.
The
study examined the link between extreme fatigue and myocardial infarction in
men who did not have a history of heart disease.
The
study included data from 657 men aged 25 to 64 from one region of Russia.
These
people were monitored for 14 years to see if they had a heart attack.
Two-thirds
(67%) of men experienced fatigue, with 52% having mild levels and 15% having
high levels.
The
researchers found that 74% of men who suffered from fatigue had high blood
pressure.
The
researchers concluded that there was a link between the risk of severe fatigue
and the risk of heart attack, while the risk of a heart attack within 10 years
was 2.25 times higher in men who experienced it than in men who did not
experience fatigue. While it increases 2.1 times in 14 years.
When the research included social factors such as age, education, occupation, and
marital status, there was a significant link between fatigue and the risk of a heart
attack.
According
to research, the risk is 3.7, 4.7, and 7 times higher among unmarried, divorced,
and widowed people respectively.
Researchers
say that living alone results in less social support, which is one of the
factors that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
The
results of the study were presented during an online conference of the European
Society of Cardiology.
