Shoulder pain may be associated with heart disease

Shoulder pain may not just be the result of physical strain excessive. A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine in the United States found that individuals who suffer from shoulder problems are at increased risk for heart disease. "Problems in the muscles or tendons of the shoulder may be a sign that there is something else going on, "says lead author of the study Kurt Hegmann. The research was published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Physical stress is accused of aggravating the joints of the shoulder, muscles and tendons that surround them. Previous research has found that people who were at increased risk for heart disease also had a tendency for carpal tunnel syndrome, Achilles tendonitis and tennis elbow, all musculoskeletal disorders. heart disease - including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes - more likely they would have shoulder problems.

The study found 36 participants who suffer from heart disease were 4.6 times more likely than those with none of the factors risk of having shoulder joint pain. In addition, they were six times more likely to have a second shoulder condition, such as rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Participants with mid-level cardiac risk were less likely to have any shoulder condition between 1.5 and 3 times . The results reinforce that there may be a relationship between cardiac risk and shoulder problems, but researchers will need to follow a prospective study to prove cause and effect.
