Follow me on:

For years it has been “common knowledge” that people who are under a lot of stress are at an increased risk of heart disease. But is this common notion correct? And if it is correct, what kind of stress is most dangerous, and what can be done about it? Cardiology expert and Heart Disease Guide Richard N. Fogoros, M.D., has the latest information on the stress and heart disease link, plus I have more resources for understanding the link between stress and your body, and help with staying healthy.
