Severe fatigue increases the risk of a heart attack in men

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.
