A cardiologist warned of the dangers of loneliness for heart health
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] Loneliness increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which impacts life expectancy.Cardiologist, therapist, and functional diagnostics specialist Andrei Kondrakhin told Regnum News Agency on Monday, June 1.
Of heart disease, depression, anxiety, and probably other things as well. People need people, at least some of the time.
"Several scientific studies show that single people live shorter lives than couples, but there are objective reasons for this. If we're talking about cardiovascular diseases, sometimes they're so severe that a person physically can't, for example, call an ambulance. A person may be left alone with the problem, and no one will help them," the doctor noted.

According to Kondrakhin, lonely people are in a state of chronic stress. High cortisol levels are particularly damaging to the cardiovascular system.

"Loneliness is, let's say, enduring all of life's troubles alone. It's hard because you have no one to share them with. This wears down our bodies. We have to do everything alone, without help, and it becomes especially difficult with age. Women cope with this more or less calmly, but men experience it much more severely. They are unable to cope with such a situation for long. In principle, this is difficult not only for the elderly but for anyone. We see a pattern: lonely people get sick more often and have more problems," the cardiologist concluded.

On May 3, cardiologist Philipp Kuzmenko explained to Regnum News Agency that there are no safe doses of alcohol. Even small amounts of alcohol can lead to the development of diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, among which hypertension is widespread.

In 2025, a 32-year-old Japanese woman married a character she created using a neural network. Family psychologist Radmila Strigunova, speaking with Regnum News Agency, emphasized that this story conceals a cry for help and profound loneliness.

1 After a marathon at Steamboat Springs my reconstructed knee was giving me some trouble. I asked my orthopedist if I could still go skiing.

He said "Sure, call me when they bring you back."

3 I remember a girlfriend and her granddad had a cat, and the granddad died, then the cat died - we suspected of a broken heart. Was all around sad.
