"The physical changes suffered by the person who just feels more deeply significant loss occurs in the heart," said Thomas Buckley, Chairman of the researchers from the Heart Foundation, as quoted from Health24, Thursday (17/9/2009).

Buckley added the 160 people involved in this study, 50 percent experienced a deep sadness and the risk of heart attack 6 times greater. At the moment of profound sadness that will increase blood pressure, faster heart rate, changes in the immune system and the formation of clots that block blood flow that can cause heart attacks.

These risks are usually found most frequently in people aged 30 years. Anguish experienced by the result of pain, believed to be due to excess production of stress hormones at the time. This in previous studies are more common in women, but now there are many men who experience it.
