stress hard on men's arteries
NEW YORK, Feb 22 (Reuters Health) - Middle-aged men
who feel stressed at work may be more likely to develop atherosclerosis--a
build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries that is a risk factor for heart
attack and stroke--according to a new study. The report shows that 36% of men
who had high levels of job-related stress had signs of atherosclerosis in their
carotid arteries, the large arteries in the neck that deliver blood to the head.
