Study links anger management to heart health risks

A recent study highlights the connection between anger expression and heart health. Researchers found that people who suppress their anger are at a higher risk for heart disease compared to those who express it. The study involved 669 participants who underwent stress tests to measure their heart rate and blood pressure. Results showed that those who suppressed anger had lower increases in these measures, while those with high anger control experienced greater increases. This research reinforces previous findings linking anger to cardiovascular risks. It suggests that how individuals manage their anger can significantly affect their heart health.
