Long-term 'vital exhaustion' (read: burnout) may put you at a higher risk for developing a potentially fatal heart flutter, also known as atrial fibrillation or AFib.
The study's findings are no doubt interesting, but it's worth pointing out that the research had a few limitations. For one, researchers only used one measure to assess participants' levels of vital exhaustion, anger, social support, and antidepressant use, and their analysis didn't account for fluctuations in these factors over time,
. Plus, since participants self-reported these measures, it's possible their responses weren't entirely accurate.That said, more research needs to be done on the connection between sustained high levels of stress and heart health complications,. For now, he highlighted two mechanisms that could be at play here: "Vital exhaustion is associated with increased inflammation and heightened activation of the body's physiologic stress response," he explained.
Dr. Garg also noted that more research on this connection may help to better inform doctors who are tasked with treating people who suffer from burnout. "It is already known that exhaustion increases one's risk for cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke," he. "We now report that it may also increase one's risk for developing atrial fibrillation, a potentially serious cardiac arrhythmia.
