Studies have shown that heart attacks age the brain. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]Heart attack is a scary name to hear. One of the main causes of sudden death from cardiovascular disease is a fearful uninvited guest that can suddenly come to even a normally healthy person. The followingeffects are also great. Even if you survive the symptoms unharmed, your brain turns out to age faster.
A study recently published in JAMA Neurology, a journal of neurology of the American Medical Association (JAMA), found that suffering a heart attack causes the same level of brain function decline as aging of the brain for regarding 6 years.
According to the US medical and health media ‘Web MD’, the research team conducted a study on 30,465 adults without a history of heart attack, stroke, or dementia. The average age was 64 years old, 56% were female, and 29% were black. After an average follow-up of 6.4 years, 1,033 of them suffered a heart attack during the study period. Immediately following suffering a heart attack, there were no noticeable changes in brain function. However, following several years, brain functions such as memory and executive abilities deteriorated at a much faster rate than average. Women were found to be less affected than men, and blacks less affected than whites.
“Many people are at risk of heart attack,” said Dr. Michelle Johansen, senior researcher of the research team and associate professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. I hope it will be an opportunity,” he showed anticipation.
A heart attack is a condition in which blood flow to the heart is reduced or blocked, resulting in brain damage or death. Acute myocardial infarction is the main cause of heart attack.
More than 70% of heart attack patients experience prodromal symptoms. If you suddenly feel stiff and tight pain in the middle of your chest, or if you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, nausea, or dizziness, it might be a danger signal.
