Stress at work increases the progression of arteriosclerosis.

WORK stress, resulting from great pressure at the work place, may increase the progression of atherosclerosis by 46% in people who have highly reactive personalities to stress. This is demonstrated by a study that was discussed at the XVI World Congress of Cardiology (May 18 to May 22) which was held in Buenos Aires and attended by 15,000 professionals from more than 100 countries.
