The expert reported the risk of death due to severe fear.

Death due to fear is possible because stress causes an adrenaline rush and vasospasm. This was told by Alexander Umnov, senior lecturer at the Department of Surgery at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education. "Газете.Ru ".

"Fear can cause death. Fear is stress for the body. At this point, adrenaline is released: the adrenal glands instantly release a critical dose of stress hormones," he said.

The expert explained that under the influence of hormones, vascular spasm occurs: the arteries narrow sharply, which leads to a lack of oxygen in the tissues. The most dangerous are spasms of the coronary and cerebral arteries. A spike in blood pressure causes a multiple increase in the load on the myocardium in a matter of seconds. Arrhythmia also develops.: a high concentration of adrenaline disrupts the electrical conduction of the heart.

Umnov noted that ventricular fibrillation may occur — a chaotic contraction of the heart in which it stops pumping blood, which leads to circulatory arrest and clinical death.
