New research shows that healthy people with high levels of anger, hostility or depression also have high blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), an indicator of inflammation of the arteries, according to HealthDayNews. More and more, heart experts are recognizing that this arterial inflammation is key to the cardiovascular disease process, and this latest study suggests reductions in anger might help reduce heart woes. C-reactive protein blood levels were tested in 121 men and women between 18 and 65 years of age. Researchers found that those who were prone to anger, hostility or depression had two to three times higher CRP levels than their more mellow peers.
