Inverse relationship between longevity and risk factors cardivoasuclaire
Take a group of 7,302 women and follow them for 31 years. Note the factors of risk cardiovascular each of them and classify them into four groups: 0, 1, 2 and more than two risk factors. Then, write the number and cause of deaths over the period.
You get data on whether the absence of factor risk cardiovascular protection and guarantee of longevity .
This is what was done in the United States by the Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry. And the results are very impressive: mortality risk cardiovascular , but also the overall risk is multiplied by 5-6 between those who pose no risk and those who have more than two. This increased risk is exponential:
- a factor, the risk is multiplied by 1.1;
- with two factors, the risk is multiplied by 3.3;
- with more than two factors, the risk is multiplied by 6.
What are the risk factors taken into account?
These are the risk factors most important, namely:
- the blood pressure (greater than or equal to 14/9);
- the cholesterol (above 2 g / l);
- diabetes (blood glucose above 1.23 g / l);
- mass index (BMI greater than 25);
- and smoking.
It is important to remember this is of course good news: there is no risk cardiovascular is a guarantee of longevity. It should also be understood that care to eliminate one or more factors of cardiovascular risk is very useful.
hence the importance of regular visits to the doctor from 40 years and a measure of the tension pressure to each occasion.
EMDR HELP TRAUMATIZED HEARTS
Infarction is a terrible ordeal imposed, although in his heart, but also his emotional life, because of the sensation of imminent death sometimes felt on top of the pain. This immense fear sometimes leaves scars that EMDR is proposed to help clear a few sessions (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or French neuro-emotional integration by eye movements).
The anguish, the state of stress and depression are forms of emotional scars that may complicate the return to normal life after a heart attack. Sometimes it's a real posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which insidiously.
Infarction can be a traumatic experience
PTSD is a psychological well-known psychiatrists, but also cardiologists. It is a disorder which can occur whenever a person must go through a situation with a life-threatening, there has been no trauma or body.

Myocardial infarction, which is felt as a sudden life-threatening by the patient, can also cause such trauma.
Who relives a nightmare day and night
A person with PTSD is found in great suffering and psychological fragility . Despite herself, she remembers constantly terrifying episode that was the source of her trauma. Awake or asleep, in the form of nightmares , she relives the traumatic initial obsessively. She is constantly on the alert as a radar would watch day and night danger. It is particularly anxious , has constantly need to be reassured, has trouble sleeping and concentrating.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), or French neuro-emotional integration by eye movements is a brief psychotherapeutic method came straight from the United States. It is based on the assumption that the therapist can help resolve emotional trauma by moving rhythmically patient's eyes while conversing. The underlying idea is that each of us is a mechanism for "digestion" emotional trauma, but in some situations, the trauma does not digest well. It remains etched in a part of our brain or our emotional intelligence, our faculties or rationalization, fail to erase. EMDR sessions thus aim to encourage the system of "digestion" of the brain to stimulate his powers of self-healing and allow it to erase the trace until indelible traumatic.
