May 1 2024American Heart Association A brief episode of anger triggered by remembering past experiences may negatively impact the blood vessel s' ability to relax, which is essential for proper blood flow, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.
In this study, the researchers investigated whether negative emotions -; anger, sadness and anxiety -; may have an adverse impact on blood vessel function compared to a neutral emotion.
"We saw that evoking an angered state led to blood vessel dysfunction, though we don't yet understand what may cause these changes," Shimbo said. "Investigation into the underlying links between anger and blood vessel dysfunction may help identify effective intervention targets for people at increased risk of cardiovascular events."
