Angry Outbursts May Increase Heart Risks, Study Finds

A brief episode of anger triggered by remembering past experiences may negatively impact the blood vessels' ability to relax.
People prone to angry outbursts may be putting their hearts at risk, according to a new US study. Researchers observed that brief moments of anger can cause stress in the lining of blood vessels.
This is significant because previous research has linked similar stress to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke in patients with coronary heart disease. The new study suggests that frequent anger outbursts could have a similar negative impact.
While earlier studies hinted at a connection between anger and heart health, the reasons behind it were unclear. This research suggests that maintaining a calm state is beneficial for blood vessel health.
