For years it has been "common knowledge" that people who are under a lot of stress have an increased risk of Heart disease. But is this common knowledge correct? And if so, what kinds of stress increase the risk of heart disease, how does it increase your risk, and what can be done about it?Sorting out the effects of stress on the heart has been complicated by at least three factors: 1) people mean different things by "stress;" 2) some types of stress appear to be worse for the heart than others; and 3) how you respond to stress may be more important than the stress itself. In recent years we have learned a lot about stress and heart disease. This article and the links it provides will help you learn what you need to know about it.
