The risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke increases considerably due to stress. This has been concluded by a study that has included more than 118,000 people over 50 years of age, who had to answer questionnaires about their state of mental health and in general(1).
After comparing all the data, it was found that those who suffer from stress frequently have up to a 30% higher risk of suffering a stroke. They are also 24% more likely to have a heart attack and 22% more likely to have any other type of cardiovascular problem.
The conclusions of this research do not fail to confirm the close relationship between stress and cardiovascular diseases, already indicated by other studies. However, these previous investigations were more focused on the stress levels of people who had already suffered some type of cardiovascular event, while the most recent one directly points to stress as a risk factor that increases the chances of suffering them. In other words: it shows that managing stress has a direct impact on heart health.
