Doctor reveals non-obvious cause of heart attacks and strokes

The doctor stressed that not all of the medical community agrees that it is loneliness that causes life-threatening conditions. However, Gallaway believes that the numerous cases confirming the impact of loneliness cannot be ignored. ‘In my work in the emergency department, I see this effect every day and regularly treat patients who have suffered a stroke or heart attack soon after retiring,’ – Gallaway concluded.

Earlier, cardiologist Irina Permikina warned of the causes of sudden cardiac arrest in men over 40. According to her, the main risk factor is coronary artery disease, which occurs because of cholesterol build-up and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries of the heart.
