Could getting angry really trigger a heart attack?


Most of us do things every day that could trigger a heart attack...

Dr. Barry Franklin, author of “One Heart, Two Feet,” has some startling statistics:

* Don’t get mad. When you’re really angry, your risk for heart attack in the next two hours is two to nine times higher.

* Bad news. It really can trigger an attack. Your risk is six to 21 times higher at the time of the shock - and can stay elevated for the next four weeks.

* Having sex can be risky for your heart - especially if its extramarital. 80% of heart attack deaths during or after sex take place in hotel rooms with non-spouses.

* A great game. If you’re passionate about sports, you could be at risk. During the 2006 World Cup soccer matches in Germany, cardiac emergencies increased on the days the German team played.
