The ghost of the frequency of the heart attack disturbs the survivors and affects their health

A recent study has shown that the fear of another heart attack is an important and continuous factor affecting the survivors of heart attacks of their state of health. It is recognized in research, the suffering of the survivors of heart attacks of depression or anxiety, but studies that monitor the effect of psychological stress and how fear can affect another heart attack on the spiritual and emotional recovery of patients, very few. The study showed that the fear of exposure to a second heart attack has a major impact on perception per capita of his illness, and the tension level he feels. The researchers say that the strong fear of repeating the Nubia significantly affects the lives of the survivors, as it increases their constant anxiety about their health, and makes them feel a psychological burden, even after a few months since their survival of the first Nubia. The participants were succeeded over a period of about eight months after the first seizure, with six weeks between two consecutive questionnaires. The results showed that the fear of repeating the heart attack was strong when the participants followed after six months of Nubia, and that after eight months this fear remained the same power, which indicates that this feeling does not fade with the relatively short time after the seizure, but rather a long time continues and part of the challenges facing the survivors. The study included 171 adults with an average age of 39 years, as women were 69% of the participants, and the ethnic composition of the group suggested that 41% of them defined themselves as white, 33% as black -gained people, 6.4% as people of Spanish or Latin origin, and 5.3% as indigenous Americans or indigenous Alaska presents, and 4,1% And 2.3% as people as people of people, and that is 2.3% as people of the people, and is 2.3% as people of the Hawai. Pacific Islands, while 2.9% chose not to answer. Most participants were collected by advertising on the Facebook platform, while 17 participants were recruited by a center for the treatment of serious injuries in the Middle West States. 33% of participants currently indicated their use of tobacco, and the study showed that 59% of them did not reach the recommended level of physical activity, which is 150 minutes a week. Psychological questionnaires said that a third of participants retained the consumption of fats and sodium regularly during most days of the week, while the average alcohol consumption reached 1.35 drinks per week among the participants, but only 26% of the participants attended at least one session of the rehabilitation of the heart. In terms of health, 46.2% of participants indicated their suffering to high blood pressure, and 44.4% of the type 2 diabetes, which is one of the most common health conditions among them, while 62% of participants indicated that there was no family history of sudden heart attacks. Participants completed standard psychological questionnaires online, which includes the surveys of the shortened awareness of the disease, the questionnaire of progress, the 10 -elements tension scale, an anxiety and depression consisting of 21 elements. The researchers have analyzed the potential effect of factors such as depression, anxiety, demographic differences and behavior associated with the risks of heart disease with the fear of repeating the heart attack and the level of awareness tension. The researchers say that fear was not influenced by the levels of anxiety or depression that the participants suffered; In controlling these psychological factors, the effect of fear of repeating the nubia has the disease and the level of tension with the same strength, which indicates that this fear is an independent factor; It should be treated separately from anxiety and depression that are common after health crises. The average alcohol consumption was about 1.35 drinks per week, with a series of 1 to 6 drinks, suggesting that increased alcohol consumption may be associated with increasing fear of repeating the heart crisis and tension. The researchers say that fear must be “taken seriously” in psychotherapy plans for heart attack survivors. Increased tension and the researchers found a link between alcohol consumption and fear of repeated attacks; Although alcohol consumption was low among all participants, individuals who eat alcohol in larger quantities feel more anxiety and increased levels of stress. This result may indicate that alcohol consumption can contribute to the aggravation of fear associated with the repetition of the heart attack. The commitment to nutritional recommendations, the abstinence of smoking or exercise, did not show a major impact on the rate of fear or tension between the participants, and this indicates that the fear of repeated seizure is not directly related to traditional health behavior, but it may result from other factors related to the experience of the heart attack themselves and the impression that it leaves. “We wanted to understand the views of the survivors about the possibility of being subjected to another heart attack, and to analyze the effect of healthy demographic and behavioral factors, as well as the perception of patients about their illness, on this fear,” said chief study writer Sarah Zvonar at the University of Indiana Medical College. ‘Zvonar’ explained that healthcare often focuses only on anxiety and depression, and that doctors usually treat these cases by anti -depressants, who can overlook the problem of fear of the recurrence of the Nubia, a factor that occupies the minds of many patients.
