Convoluted In Hypertension People Can Increase The Risk Of Heart Disease

JAKARTA - Heart disease or cardiovascular problems seem to have links to constipation or constipation.

Citing the three research results published in 2023 as well as information from the American Heart Association, constipation relationships with higher risk of developing severe cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks and strokes, especially in those who also experience hypertension.

Evidence showing there is a link between intestinal microbiome and heart health encourages scientists to research how constipation can be a factor.

The results of research in 2023 show that there is a "suscessive causal relationship" between constipation and atrium fibrillation, the most common type of heart arrhythmia, but does not show a constipation relationship with heart failure, stroke, ortegery disease.

Other studies in 2023 show the opposite, that hospitalized patients over 60 are constipated and hypertension, the risk of all cardiovascular events is higher.

Based on the study, the researchers further investigated the relationship between constipation and heart condition.

In a recent study published in the American Journal of Physics-Heart and CirculatoryPhysiology, scientists analyzed data from more than 400,000 people aged 40 to 69 in the UK Biobank biomedical database.

They review medical records, surgery history, and death record data to find a link between constipation and bad heart events such as heart failure, ischemic stroke, or acuteten syndrome.

The convoluted sheet is defined as taking evaporation drugs regularly or recorded in hospital medical records or questionnaires for bowel irritation syndrome.

After adjusting to age, gender, body mass index, use of drugs that can cause constipation, smoking status, and health conditions such as high cholesterol and diabetes, the research team found that those who were constipated had a two to three times higher risk of experiencing serious cardiovascular incidents compared to people with normal bowel movements.

The study also revealed that constipation in patients with high blood pressure increases the risk of heart events by about 1.7 times.

The researchers identified convoluted as potential risk factors independently associated with the prevalence of higher cardiovascular events (MajorAdverseCardiac Event/MACE).

The convoluted sheet has between 21 percent and 27 percent of the genetic risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which authors say the results of the study can explain the relationship between the two. For example, genes can be the cause of "disturbations" in autonomous nervous systems, which regulate cardiovascular function and digestive tract.

In another study, researchers theorize that straining during bowel movements can cause a spike in blood pressure, which over time has the potential to trigger cardiovascular events.

digestive expert Timothy Ritter, MD, who also serves as senior medical director of GI Alliance Research, said constipated people may have other problems that put them at high risk of heart disease.

Mary Branch, MD, a cardiologist at Greensboro, North Carolina, said that erratic constipation properties complicate the assessment of her relationship with heart health.

Branch said that increasing the function of the intestines by consuming fiber food can be done to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease due to constipation.

He also emphasized the importance of consistency in doing physical activity, following a diet rich in whole foods, prioritizing sleep, controlling cholesterol, and avoiding smoking to maintain heart health. (Ant)
