Heart surgery depend on the family situation

Healthy and happy marriage is good for the heart, as scientists have found. They found that married patients undergoing major heart surgery are more likely to survive. Of course, unless their relationship with their spouse are at the proper level.

However, this relationship is manifested in different ways, depending on the sex of the patient. Thus, male family generally have a higher rate of survival after major   heart surgery Than bachelors. But married women can look forward to a better outcome only if their marriage really happy.

This is the conclusion, researchers from the University of Rochester in the United States. They found that 83% of women who are happily married, living in general, 15 years after surgery coronary artery bypass grafting . Among those unhappy women only 28%, while among unmarried only 27%

For a happy married men, the figure is 83% the same, but for those of boys who are not too happy marriage, the chance to live another 15 years after cardiac surgery   coronary artery bypass grafting   up 60%. Men idle these chances do not exceed 36%.

According to study author Professor Kathleen King, the presence of a caring partner inspires people to conduct a more healthy lifestyle. Disabled people after such operations are beginning to pay attention to the sport and give up bad habits such as smoking.

These studies are published in the journal Health Psychology. In previous studies, scientists have proved that the body of people who are happily married, rarely observed inflammatory processes that are associated with heart disease.
