A doctor has revealed a non-obvious cause of heart attacks and strokes

The doctor emphasized that not the entire medical community agrees that it is loneliness that triggers life-threatening conditions. However, Gallaway believes that the numerous cases that confirm the impact of loneliness cannot be ignored. “In my work in the emergency department, I see this effect day in and day out and regularly treat patients who have suffered a stroke or heart attack shortly after retirement,” Gallaway concluded.

Earlier, cardiologist Irina Permikina warned about the causes of sudden cardiac arrest in men over 40 years old. In her opinion, the main risk factor is coronary heart disease, which occurs due to the accumulation of cholesterol and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries of the heart.
