Recurrence of heart disease is not just triggered by activity or excessive emotion,but also because of the often troubled mind. Anxiety when experiencingdepression may increase the risk of recurrence for those who never had a heart attack.
A study at Tel Aviv University revealed, a psychological condition closely related to the risk of heart disease recurrence. Compared to patients in a good moodright, patients who have symptoms of depression are more likely to relapse withinthe next 10 years.
This conclusion was drawn based on the observation of 632 heart attack patientswho were treated between the years 1992-1993. All the participants were observed continuously by more than 10 years later, ie around 2005.
Almost all participants have a relapse, but no difference in risk when comparedwith a history of depression. Patients who have symptoms of mild depressionhave a recurrence risk of heart disease 14 percent higher compared to patients in a good mood right.
"The message is that doctors should not ignore the psychological factors in patients who had had a heart attack. Patients who have symptoms of depressionshould be considered," said Vicki Myers, who led the study, as quoted byMedindia on Sunday (2/19/2012) .
During this time, emotional and psychological factors are often associated withthe risk of recurrence of heart attacks. But if so far only been associated withshort-term risk of recurrence, in this study psikolgis factors also affect long-termrisk of recurrence.
This study does not explain why. However, previous studies showed thatpsychological factors can greatly affect the biological and physical conditions lead to a set of symptoms called a psychosomatic illness.
