Vital exhaustion refers to excessive fatigue, feelings of demoralization, and increased irritability.- Recent research finds that vital exhaustion significantly increases heart attack risk in men.
- Researchers say that besides living a healthy lifestyle, greater involvement in social groups can make people less vulnerable to stress, which can help them maintain cardiovascular health.
Men experiencing a condition called vital exhaustion are more likely to have a heart attack, according to a new study recently presented at the ESC Acute CardioVascular Care 2021, an online scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
“Overall, 67 percent of the men had vital exhaustion, [and] 15 percent had a high level,” study author Dmitriy Panov, PhD, from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Russia, told Healthline. “Gender differences in response features to distress and the manifestation of VE are especially important.”
He also explained that, despite the fact that the “frequency of negative effects” is higher among women, his research finds the association of vital exhaustion with cardiovascular events is still more common among men.
