Description: Med Headlines - A recent study released in Oct. 8 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine at London reports- ‘furious and tempestuous relationships might lead to increased risk of coronary problems moderately and result in a heart attack or angina.’

Men and women involved in disputing relationships over a span of 12 years were 34% more likely to develop heart problems, than those with lesser frequency of conflicts. Emotionally stable relationships were not linked to coronary problems, explained Roberto De Vogli, Ph.D., M.P.H., of University College London, and colleagues.

Researchers also indicated that chances are higher that individuals tend to replay more negative encounters due to negative intimate emotional relationships than they replay positive ones. As stronger emotions are forced by tensed intimate relationships, which are worry and anxiety resulting in stronger physiological efforts. Social relationships are believed to encourage better cardiovascular health.
