Temper link to heart attack established
LONDON: Scientists have confirmed that the risk of a heart attack is over nine times higher in the two hours following a burst of extreme anger.
In a study by the University of Sydney, anger was qualified as 5 and above on a 1-7 scale, referring to a state from "very angry, body tense, clenching fists or teeth, ready to burst", up to "enraged, out of control, throwing objects". Anger below this level was not associated with increased risk.
"Our findings confirm that episodes of extreme anger can act as a trigger for a heart attack. The data shows that the higher risk of a heart attack isn't necessarily just while you're angry — it lasts for two hours after the outburst. The data revealed that episodes of anxiety can also make you more likely to have heart attack," said lead author Dr Thomas Buckley from the Sydney Nursing School more

Therefore it is said, anger, an important member of the 'Temper Circle' is the worst enemy who entertains it ! While anger does it's work pretty fast, a mental shock is not far behind and the slowest but another sure killers are anguish and worry. more

I have found that people who are helpless to show their anger or outburst of anger, due to their temperament, helplessness, less confidence in themselves, state of affairs prevailing at that time, do not show anger, not able to do their desired work/missions taking it as out of control, less will power, motivation and enthusiasm, do not utter even few words and digest the above-said miseries on themselves are more prone to heart attack sooner or later. Some utterance and sharing their grief/miseries with friends and well wishers will relieve them to a large extent and will hep them in avoidance/relieving/postponing heart attacks. more
