天哪，人真的可以被气死

Anger and other strong emotions cantrigger potentially deadly heart rhythms in certain vulnerablepeople, US researchers said on Monday.

周一美国调查人员声明，对于某些虚弱的人群，生气和其他强烈的情绪可能会引发潜在的致命的心脏疾病。

Previous studies have shown thatearthquakes, war or even the loss of a World Cup Soccer match canincrease rates of death from sudden cardiac arrest, in which theheart stops circulating blood.

之前的研究已经表明，地震、战争、甚至输了一场世界杯都会增加突发心搏停止而死的机率，在这种情况下心脏停止了供血循环。

"It's definitely been shown in alldifferent ways that when you put a whole population under astressor that sudden death will increase," saidDr. Rachel Lampert of Yale University inNew Haven, Connecticut, whose study appears in the Journal of theAmerican College of Cardiology."Our study starts to look at howdoes this really affect the electrical system of the heart,"Lampert said.

耶鲁大学的Rachel Lampert博士说：“不同研究证实了当你处在一个压力过强的群体时，突然死亡的可能性将会增加，”她的研究发表在美国心脏病学院的期刊上。Lampert博士讲到：“我们的研究着手寻找它怎样影响心脏系统。”

She and colleagues studied 62patients with heart disease and implantable heart defibrillators orICDs that can detect dangerous heart rhythms or arrhythmias anddeliver an electrical shock to restore a normal heart beat. "Thesewere people we know already had some vulnerability to arrhythmia,"Lampert said in a telephone interview.

她和她的研究团队研究了62例有心脏病和植入心脏的患者，发现了异常的心律或心律不齐的现象，并通过电击来恢复患者正常的心跳。Lampert博士在一次电话采访中讲到：“我们的这些研究对象有心率不齐的现象。”

Patients in the study took part in anexercise in which they recounted a recent angry episode whileLampert's team did a test called T-Wave Alternans that measureselectrical instability in the heart.

在这次研究中的患者参加了一项实验，这实验中要求这些患者回忆最近一次的发怒的情形。这个实验，Lampert的团队将其命名为T波变换实验，它是用来测量心电流的不稳定的现象。

Lampert said the team specificallyasked questions to get people to relive the angry episode. "Wefound in the lab setting that yes, anger did increase thiselectrical instability in these patients," shesaid.

Lampert博士说团队特别询问了一些问题来缓解这些发怒的情形。“我们发现在实验室里，发怒增加了这些患者的心电流的不稳定。”她说

Next, they followed patients forthree years to see which patients later had a cardiac arrest andneeded a shock from their implantable defibrillator. "The peoplewho had the highest anger-induced electrical instability were 10times more likely than everyone else to have an arrhythmia infollow-up," she said.

接下来，他们连续追踪这些患者长达三年之久，检查哪些病人有心搏停止或者移植体内的电震发生器震动的状况。Lampert博士说，“那些有着最高的生气引发的心电流不稳定是其他患者患心率不齐机率的10倍。”

Lampert said the study suggests thatanger can be deadly, at least for people who are already vulnerableto this type of electrical disturbance in the heart."It says yes,anger really does impact the heart's electrical system in veryspecific ways that can lead to sudden death," shesaid.
