9個令人驚訝的心髒病發作風險

低好膽固醇

近7000人，由在美國印第安納大學研究員帶領的研究分析高密度脂蛋白膽固醇或好膽固醇，主要冠脈事件之間的關係。研究結論認為，低高密度脂蛋白是最強的預測冠脈事件前心髒疾病和年齡後，。
 
如果你是診斷與流感或其他呼吸道感染，心髒病發作的幾率高五倍，在確診後3天，比它否則會。究其原因：感染可能帶來的炎症反應，它可以引發心髒病發作或中風。流感疫苗可能有助於防止感染引起的心髒壓力。

停止阿司匹林
 
許多研究表明，心髒病患者，至少一周後停止阿司匹林治療或其他非類固醇消炎藥（NSAIDs）在心髒病發作的風險增加。 “如果你有心髒疾病的風險，並要停止服用阿司匹林，醫生的監督下逐步這樣做，”馬修索倫蒂諾，醫學博士，在芝加哥大學的心髒病專家警告說。

前列腺癌的激素治療，可以增加心髒病發作的猝死的可能性，根據2006年由哈佛醫學院的研究人員觀察研究。研究人員說，這一發現並不能證明兩者之間，但考慮前列腺癌的治療時，應該考慮的直接鏈接。

銀屑病
 
“在某些患者，牛皮癬是一種與糖尿病的心髒病發作的危險因素，說：”喬爾M.蓋爾芬德，皮膚科醫師，賓夕法尼亞大學助理教授。嚴重的牛皮癬，皮膚狀況，通常需要藥物治療，患者更可能吸煙，超重，有高血壓，但蓋爾芬德博士的研究表明，銀屑病是一個獨立危險因素。他指出，牛皮癬是一種自身免疫性疾病，可能會引起慢性炎症，它可以引發心髒病發作。

關係問題
 
一個與您的顯著其他的負麵關係可不好，你的心髒，從字麵上。根據一項由倫敦大學學院的流行病學家的研究，關係問題您有34％的心髒病發作的風險。

9 Surprising Heart Attack Risks Health.com

Low Good Cholesterol

A study of nearly 7,000 people led by a researcher at Indiana University analyzed the relationship between HDL, or good cholesterol, and major coronary events. The study concluded that low HDL was the third strongest predictor of coronary events, after prior heart disease and age.

 

If you are diagnosed with flu or another respiratory tract infection, your odds of having a heart attack are five times higher during the three days after diagnosis than it would be otherwise. The reason: Infections can bring on an inflammatory response, which can trigger a heart attack or stroke. A flu vaccine may help protect against infection-induced heart stress.

 

A study of elderly patients in Rotterdam in the Netherlands found that having weak kidneys, even without full-blown kidney disease, can put you at a significantly higher risk for heart attack.

Exposure to heavy traffic—whether you're traveling by car, bike, or public transit—may double your risk of a heart attack, according to a German study. Another earlier study found that death from cardiopulmonary causes was nearly twice as high among people living close to a major road.

A New Zealand study found that women who took one gram of calcium citrate for five years had twice the risk for heart attack. A second study found that people (particularly women in their 70s) who took at least 500 milligrams of calcium daily had a 30% higher heart attack risk than those who did not.

One possible reason could be that extra calcium builds up in the arteries, however this has not yet been confirmed. (Consult your doctor if you take supplemental calcium; some research has suggested that calcium could protect the heart.)

Stopping Aspirin

 

Numerous studies have shown that heart patients are at an increased risk of heart attack for at least a week after stopping aspirin therapy or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). "If you have or are at risk for heart disease and want to stop taking aspirin, do so gradually and under the supervision of a doctor," warns Matthew Sorrentino, MD, a cardiologist at the University of Chicago.

Hormone treatment for prostate cancer can increase the likelihood of sudden death from heart attack, according to a 2006 observational study by researchers at Harvard Medical School. The researchers say the finding does not prove a direct link between the two but that it should be taken into account when considering prostate cancer treatment.

Psoriasis

 

"In certain patients, psoriasis is a risk factor for heart attack comparable to diabetes," says Joel M. Gelfand, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania. Patients with severe psoriasis, a skin condition that usually requires medical treatment, are more likely to smoke, be overweight, and have high blood pressure, but Dr. Gelfand's research shows that psoriasis is an independent risk factor. He points out that psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that may cause chronic inflammation, which can trigger a heart attack.

Relationship Issues

 

A negative relationship with your significant other can be bad for your heart, literally. According to a study by epidemiologists at University College London, relationship problems can up your risk of having a heart attack by 34%.
