PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- When the stock market plummets, a U.S. cardiologist warns stress on the heart can spike, especially if you are a news junkie.
Dr. Jerome E. Granato of Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia says "ticker shock" -- closely watching a volatile market, or a situation over which one has no control -- may harm the heart.
However, he said, optimism seems to do the heart good.
Granato, who is on the staff of Allegheny General Hospital and is author of a new book on heart care for patients and their families titled "Living with Coronary Disease," said chronic worriers and those gripped by psychological stress are three or four times as likely to have heart problems of one kind or another, and have a 53 percent increased risk for high blood pressure and stroke.
