Study: Cardiac patients who are lonely have a higher risk of death

Cardiac patients face a higher risk of death within a year of being discharged from the hospital if they feel lonely, according to a new study published Monday in the journal Heart. They compared it to the national registry a year later to determine what happened to the patients' cardiac health and how many died. "This builds up on evidence that loneliness is a very, very serious risk factor," said Anne Vinggaard Christensen, lead author of the study. Living alone wasn't associated with feeling lonely, the study found it was actually associated with a lower risk of anxiety and depression that than for those who live with other people. Living alone, however, was associated with a higher risk of poor cardiac health among men.

Daytime naps may be linked to healthy heart, researchers say

Pexels.com(CNN) - Some good news for nap fanatics -- a new study has found that a daytime nap taken once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks or strokes. Researchers from the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland studied the association between napping frequency and duration and the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease complications. The observational study, which was published in Heart, the journal of the British Cardiovascular Society, found that no such association emerged for greater frequency or duration of naps. While some studies have been done on the impact of napping on heart health, many published studies fail to consider napping frequency or duration, the researchers said. It's often difficult to untangle what is cause and effect, especially when some serious conditions, such as coronary heart disease, can be largely symptom-free for decades prior to a critical complication such as a heart attack," he told the Science Media Centre (SMC) in London.
