Challenges during war – heart, don't let me down!
When there is a war going around, it is very difficult to cope with a huge amount of psychological stress due to anxiety, fear and deep feelings for yourself, your relatives, and the country. Not everyone manages to adapt to the realities of today, and negative emotions overflow. The heart primarily takes the heaviest hit from these challenges. Manifestation of heart's response could vary from a slight heartbeat to a prolonged attack of pain behind the breastbone, which can end in a myocardial infarction. For some, the feeling of fear and anxiety is accompanied by arrhythmias, which can transform into particularly dangerous ones that threaten not only health, but also life.
Elderly and senile people, whose blood vessels are significantly altered due to atherosclerosis, are most prone to an unfavorable prognosis. But even in young and middle-aged people, an unfavorable prognosis is also possible due to the tendency to sudden narrowing of the vessels of the heart, which disrupts its blood supply. Therefore, in order to preserve health, any, even the slightest, changes associated with discomfort in the heart or a violation of cardiac activity require focused attention and control of a cardiologist.
