By Qutaybeh Maghaydah, MD, FACC

Research conducted over the past 35 years has demonstrated that acute and chronic stress may be as detrimental to the health of your heart as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Learning to reduce stress in your life when you can and to manage stress effectively when it does occur could help you live longer.
