The do not worry, be happy theory is a success.

NEW DELHI: The best medicine is laughter. Do not worry, be cheerful is an old saying that has been supported by science on Monday. Researchers found that persons with cardiovascular illness who have fits of rage may be more susceptible to heart attacks in the future. However, when people laughed, their major blood arteries dilated, improving blood flow. This is a major marker for a reduced risk of cardiac events.The research carried out by the Institute of Clinical Physiology in Pisa, Italy, and presented at the ongoing European Society of Cardiology meeting in Paris was carried out for over 10 years.As many as 78.5% of patients with cardiovascular disease, who did not indicate an angry personality profile, had “infarction free-survival” compared to 57.4% of similar patients, who exhibited anger profiles, said Franco Bonaguidi from the Institute.Michael Miller from the University of Maryland in Baltimore, in a separate study, said when people laughed their major blood vessels dilated, allowing for easier blood flow.Both researchers confirmed how psychological wellness directly influences cardiac-related outcomes.And the difference of constriction of arteries could be as much as 30% to 50% in diameter between the two categories of people.Reacting to the study, chairman of the Escorts Heart Research Institute Dr Ashok Seth, said, “Numerous Bollywood movies have shown how a bout of anger leads to an actor’s heart attack. It has now been scientifically proved. People who are angry have a number of reasons to develop heart problems. Anger releases adrenergic and rasoconstrictor hormones, which decrease blood supply to the heart and also increases blood clotting.”He added, “Happy people, on the other hand, have an attitude of mental relaxation, which is already been shown to dilate arteries. Being happy should be an important advise for all people suffering from heart disease.”For the anger study, 228 patients were recruited — 200 of whom were men. According to a multivariate analysis, a high score on anger and stress-related disturbances increased the risk of new cardiac events, according to Bonaguidi. “Anger is a primitive emotion which cannot be switched off at will,” Bonaguidi said. Over the course of the study, 51 people experienced coronary events, including 28 deaths and 23 heart attacks. Beyond a certain point, or in the presence of underlying vulnerability, anger can trigger unfavorable hemodynamic, neural, and endocrine changes through excessive sympathetic activation, and can chronically contribute to self-destructive life habits, food, and alcohol addiction, according to Miller.In his studies, Miller discovered that the endothelium of blood vessels responds f Those arteries narrow under mental stress, according to researchers, who also claim that emotional stress and fury cause the body to release the stress hormone cortisol. A brief energy boost can be provided by little cortisol releases. Higher and longer-lasting increases, however, can have a number of detrimental effects. They can cause an imbalance in blood sugar, reduce bone density, suppress the body’s immune response and make it more susceptible to chronic inflammation, stifle thyroid function, slow down metabolism, impair brain function, and raise blood pressure. Anger can raise your heart rate to 180 beats per minute. Your blood pressure can go from 120 over 80 to 220 over 130, and possibly even higher. As you attempt to get more oxygen into your body, your breathing becomes fast. Anger tightens the muscles in your body and slows circulation. Severe chest pains might be caused by a lack of oxygen. Uncontrollable rage can cause a cerebral artery to explode, leading to a stroke. Muscle strain in the neck and head might result in tension headaches, migraines, or sleeplessness.
