Can long term failure to recover from anxiety disorders cause coronary heart disease?

Patients who are in a state of anxiety and depression for a long time will cause coronary heart disease, and studies have shown that negative emotions such as anxiety and depression can cause enhanced sympathetic nerve activity in the body, thereby causing a series of physiological and pathological changes.

For example, the excessive secretion of catecholamines, the release of substances with strong vasoconstrictive effects, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, etc., will lead to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and increased myocardial oxygen consumption, thereby causing angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure and other clinical diseases, and the risk of coronary events in patients with obvious anxiety is very high, which will significantly increase the severity and mortality rate of coronary heart disease.

Anxiety or depression can make patients more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, significantly higher than those who do not, and those who have sudden death are significantly higher than those without anxiety and depression. Therefore, the influence of emotions is directly related to the formation of coronary heart disease, and should be paid attention to in life to find symptoms in time.

Like the typical symptoms of angina, there are three elements:

First, the location and extent of the pain.

Second, the pain can not go away after taking the medicine.

Third, myocardial infarction is also a serious necrosis of myocardial cells caused by myocardial ischemia for too long, which generally occurs due to the shedding of atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries, the formation of thrombosis, and the complete blockage of coronary arteries, so that a part of the myocardial ischemia and hypoxia necrosis.

Anxiety disorder is a type of neurosis, which has a certain personality basis and is also related to psychosocial factors. Anxiety disorders exhibit some autonomic symptoms, so there are also varying degrees of palpitation, shortness of breath, nervousness, and precordial discomfort. However, it generally does not cause structural heart disease.

If the anxiety disorder is severe and lasts for a long time, it will also induce heart disease on the basis of the original poor function of the heart. But there is not a necessary relationship between them, there is a possibility. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease should maintain a peaceful and optimistic attitude.

Coronary heart disease, coronary artery atherosclerotic lesions and narrowing or blockage of the lumen of the blood vessels, resulting in myocardial ischemia, hypoxia or necrosis, is often referred to as coronary heart disease.

What are the basic factors and triggers, including high blood pressure, overweight and obesity, high blood sugar, diabetes, unhealthy lifestyle including smoking, unreasonable diet, high fat, high cholesterol and high calories, lack of physical activity, excessive alcohol consumption and psychosocial factors, irrevocable factors, gender, age, familial is related to another infection such as cytomegalovirus, chlamydia pneumoniae, etc.

In addition, the occurrence of coronary heart disease is related to seasonal changes, emotional agitation, increased activity and a lot of smoking and drinking, so from the perspective of clinical research, anxiety disorder will not become coronary heart disease, it is a manifestation of a person's anxious mood, but patients with coronary heart disease, when anxiety occurs, it is easy to have an acute attack, resulting in aggravation of the disease.

Coronary heart disease is mainly caused by blockage of blood vessels in the heart.

Anxiety disorders can cause coronary heart disease, which is mainly because anxiety disorders can increase the C-reactive protein in the body, and C-reactive protein is an inflammatory factor, which can affect the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease.

Moreover, anxious emotions can affect this activity of the hypothalamic, pituitary, adrenal axes, causing increased sympathetic activity in the body.

As a result, it triggers the excessive secretion of catecholamines, lipid metabolism disorders, the release of procoagulant substances and angiotensin 2, the heart rate increases, and the blood pressure increases, thereby accelerating the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease.

Moreover, coronary heart disease, once accompanied by anxiety, can increase the oxidized low-density lipoprotein in the serum, thereby aggravating the production of atherosclerosis, so anxiety disorders affect the regulatory mechanism of the endocrine system and the bridge to lead to the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease.

Simple anxiety will not cause coronary heart disease, but if the patient has other underlying factors of coronary heart disease, it will cause coronary heart disease, the causes of coronary heart disease include high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, obesity, diabetes, smoking and psychological factors, etc., coronary heart disease itself has coronary artery blood supply is not sufficient, bad mood will lead to aggravation of heart load, coronary artery insufficiency will be further aggravated, so mood will affect the occurrence, development and prognosis of coronary heart disease. Bad emotions such as anger, worry, irritability, nervousness, panic, overexcitement, etc. can lead to an increase in blood pressure, and can also induce angina, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and even sudden death.

Patients with coronary heart disease should keep their mood comfortable, relieve mental pressure, avoid emotional excitement, coronary heart patients should control their diet and appropriate exercise, usually should have a low-salt and low-fat diet, the diet is mainly light and easy to digest, no smoking, no alcohol, coronary heart patients should follow the doctor's instructions to take oral medication regularly, can use metoprolol, atenolol and so on. Therefore, if you have mental anxiety, do not delay, you should go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, so that you can recover your health as soon as possible and reduce the impact on your life.

Anxiety disorders can trigger symptoms of coronary heart disease, because anxiety may affect the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease by elevating C-reactive protein, and anxiety can activate the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis associated with anxiety, causing increased sympathetic nerve activity in the body.

As a result, catecholamine oversecretion, lipid metabolism disorders, and the release of procoagulant substances and angiotensin II make the heart rate increase and blood pressure increase, thereby accelerating the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease.

It can also induce the onset of myocardial ischemia, and the degree of anxiety is positively correlated with the level of oxidized low-density lipoprotein, which also indicates that anxiety affects lipid metabolism in the body.

It can also lead to the enhancement of platelet activity, so anxiety disorder is a risk factor for coronary heart disease, which can completely induce the symptoms of coronary heart disease, so in the case of coronary heart disease, we must control anxiety at the same time to avoid poor coronary heart disease.

The complications of anxiety disorders are mainly physical. Long-term anxiety disorders are not effective** and coronary heart disease, diabetes, reflex hypertension, and even abnormal thyroid function may occur. It should be noted that patients with anxiety disorders often also have comorbid depression, or anxiety disorders are a precursor to some serious mental illness, which requires a detailed differential diagnosis by our clinicians.

Diagnosis is made by a specialist based on medical history, family history, clinical symptoms, course of illness and physical examination, scale testing, and laboratory aids. Chief among them are clinical symptoms and course of the disease.
