Anger Management Test Predicts Heart Attack Risk
Anger is one of the most natural human emotions there is. We don’t have to be taught it. When anger gets out of control, however, it becomes a threat not only to us but to those around us. Misplaced anger and rage is one of the major cause of conflict in our personal and professional relationships. That’s why the results from the recent anger management test shows so much promise.
The surprising anger management test is actually the electrocardiogram, or ECG, used in administrating physical stress tests. Dr. Rachel Lampert, associate professor of cardiology and electrophysiology at Yale University. has been heading up a project that studies T-wave alternans. T wave alternans, also known as TWA, are periodic beat-to-beat variations in the amplitude of the T wave in an electrocardiogram (ECG). If you look at a printout of an electrocardiogram, you’ll see the ups and downs of the electrical activity of the beating heart. The last up, or bump, is the T-wave.
