The reflex of stress in cardiovascular diseases has drawn the attention of science.
Stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, serve to put our minds on alert.
However, we get stressed so often that these hormones are triggered far too often. If 10,000 years ago our ancestors reached this state only in the face of real dangers, this is no longer our contemporary situation.
Stressors are triggered at different times: while we are in traffic, at work, or even in the face of so much noise in our homes and apartments.
All this stress reflects on cardiovascular disease. To find out what the studies say on this subject, continue to the end of the article.

What do the studies say?
Excessive stress has the power to clog important arteries, as shown by data from the Harvard University School of Medicine – USA.
White blood cells, responsible for the body's defense, are fired in very high amounts when the body is invaded by feelings of stress.
Although they have an immune function in the body, when they are produced in excess, they are harmful to the blood circulation in the heart region itself.
In addition, there is already evidence that high doses of adrenaline impact blood pressure variation, heart artery spasms, and heart rate acceleration.

Genetics is not everything
Stress, in many cases, leads to mental disorders that also impact the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This is what a study published by the BMJ this year showed.
This study was conducted in 136,367 patients already diagnosed with stress-related disorders, who were followed up in the Swedish National Patient Register.
The study also compared these patients with their blood brothers (on the side of the father and mother), who did not have this disorder, for 27 years.
It was proven that these followed patients were up to twice as likely to develop some type of cardiovascular disease compared to these siblings.
This makes it clear that genetics is a secondary factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle and habits continue to be decisive in the manifestation of this type of condition.
Heart diseases currently claim more than 17.5 million victims every year, according to data from the World Health Organization – WHO. As stress is a very strong risk factor for heart disease, it is necessary to adopt strategies for its control.
