In their study that includes 3,000 employed men, researchers from Sweden found that there was a strong link between the risk of heart attacks and other heart diseases, and bad leadership. This risk goes up if the employee works under this boss for long time.

The study has been published in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

The results of some previous studies have shown that hot tempered and arrogant bosses may become the cause of driving up their workers’ blood pressure that may lead to higher risk of disease if persistent.

In their study, the researchers from Karolinska Institute and Stockholm University gathered information about the heart health of those male employees who worked around Stockholm area and aged 19 to 70.

The researchers found that there were 74 cases of serious heart attacks, acute angina and death from ischaemic heart disease over a period of ten years.

The participants of the study were asked to rate their bosses according to their leadership style on abilities like communication and giving feedback and setting goals for their staff etc.

The researchers found that the employees who rated their bosses as least competent had almost a 25% higher risk of a heart disease than those who rated their bosses as quite competent.

Caffeine is well known as a stimulant and when it is consumed during pregnancy, it is given across the placenta to your baby. A baby’s metabolism cannot process the stimulant like an adult’s metabolism.

The best thing you can do for your baby during pregnancy is to consume as little caffeine as possible, says the American Pregnancy Association. It also provides some additional information in this connection:

1. Caffeine can stimulate your heart rate and increases your blood pressure that both are considered harmful during pregnancy.
2. Urine output increases because of caffeine and it can lead to dehydration.
3. It can cause changes in your baby’s movement patterns and sleep.
4. It’s a general view that caffeine is just found in coffee or sodas, but the truth is that it is found in many foods and you need to check labels to look for caffeine content.

Pulmonary hypertension occurs due to high blood pressure in those arteries that supply blood to the lungs. In this condition the arteries that feed the lungs constrict and decrease the supply of oxygenated blood to circulate throughout the body. Usually, people feel tired and short of breath and tired because of that condition.

Dr. Adaani E. Frost, from the Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston, led that study and he and his team looked at data from the REVEAL registry that included more than 2,300 patients, then they compared it with the data they received from the U.S. National Institute of Health, a French registry and another large U.S. registry from one medical centre.

The researchers noticed that in the United States, that the condition affects four times more women than men. Similarly, most of the time it strikes people aged 48 and above.

The researchers find that there is more awareness among doctors of pulmonary hypertension, but the time frame from when symptoms first develop to diagnosis were increased by 10 months.

The study has been presented at the American College of Chest Physicians annual meeting, in Philadelphia on Wednesday.
