FUNNY BONE Laughter really is the best medicine
and should be prescribed on NHS, scientists say
(1º§) Chuckling along to comedy shows helps boost the
organ's ability to pump blood around the body, Brazilian
researchers found. They said laughter therapy should be
offered more widely on the NHS alongside drugs like
statins.
(2º§) Professor Marco Saffi, of the Hospital de Clinicas
de Porto Alegre, said: "People with heart disease could
be invited to comedy evenings. "People should try to do
things that make them laugh at least twice a week.
"Laughter is good for the brain and good for the heart.
Laughter therapy could be used in the future to help
patients with heart disease and help reduce dependence
on medication."
(3º§) Around 7.6million Brits have heart disease and
160,000 die from it every year. It occurs when the heart's
blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of
fatty substances in the coronary arteries, which can lead
to heart attacks. Symptoms include chest pain and
shortness of breath, and patients are also at risk of heart
failure.
(4º§) Drugs like statins can help and some patients need
surgery to widen the artery. The study, presented at the
European Society of Cardiology Congress in Amsterdam,
involved 26 adults with an average age of 64. They had
all been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, caused
by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply
blood to the heart. Half were asked to watch two different
hour-long comedy programmes each week, including
popular sitcoms, over three months. The other half
watched two different serious documentaries every week,
about topics such as politics or the Amazon rainforest.
(5º§) At the end of the study, the comedy group saw a 10
per cent improvement in their VO2 max, a test measuring
how much oxygen their heart could pump around the
body. Their flow-mediated dilation - a test which
measures how well arteries can expand - also improved.
They also had blood tests to measure several
inflammatory biomarkers, which indicate how much
plaque has built up in the blood vessels, and whether
people are at risk of heart attack or stroke.
(6º§) The laughter group saw significant reductions in
these inflammatory markers, compared to the control
group. Professor James Leiper, Associate Medical
Director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "While this
study reveals the interesting possibility that laughter
could in fact be a therapy for coronary artery disease, this
small trial will need to be replicated to get a better
understanding of how laughter therapy may be helping
these patients. "It's encouraging to see that something so
simple and widespread could benefit our health, but more
research is needed to determine whether laughter alone
led to the improvements seen, and how long the effects could last."
