Is Your Heart Stressed At Work?
- Is the accumulation of work stress associated with higher risks of incident CHD and risk factors?
- Is this association stronger among working-age populations?
- Does work stress affect CHD directly through neuroendocrine mechanisms, or indirectly through behavioral risk factors for CHD, or both?
A few questions for you above. And I know you know the answers! Yes, yes and yes!!! We all know that stress increases ones risk for heart disease and work is no different. What is interesting about the research is that they concluded that stress at work leads to CAD through direct activation of ones neuroendocrine stress pathway.
