RESEARCH DEMYSTIFIES HOW STRESS INCREASES THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKE
Topic:
Research demystifies how stress increases the risk of heart disease and stroke
Purpose:
To find out if there is a connection between stress and cardiovascular disease.
Hypothesis:
The author’s hypothesis is that since previous studies has concluded that there is a link between stress and higher activity in the bone marrow and arteries in animals, the same could apply to humans. The author hypotheses that there is a link between stress at one region of the human brain and the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Method
239 patients participated in this research. These patients were given PET/CT scan, so as to record brain activities, bone marrow, …show more content…
This study will help us reduce the stressors in our life and help us pursue happiness. It will also open the door to research on possible ways of dealing with negative psychological risk factors. This study also gave us an insight on how heavy unemployment, poverty and carrying too much loads can increase tress and in turn heart disease in human life.
Strength and limitations of this study
Limitations: I will say that that the selection process for the participants was very poor. The genetic history of patients in this study were unknown, so it is very difficult to ascertain if the patients who developed heart disease have inherited the disease from their family. Also the size of this study was small. My tip to the research would be to come up with a system to eliminate every one with a family history of heart or cardiovascular disease from the study.
Strength: The strength of this study was the accuracy of the data using the PET/CT scan, as well as the long duration of the study; these are noble strengths of this study.

The sudy elucidated how stress causes cardiovascular disease. This knowledge is what the society need today. Many people are working themselves to death.
My Conclusion:
Absolutely valuable and informative. Even our study this week opened my eyes to see how stressors like traumatic events, life changes, hassles and other stressors dramatically affect our lifes. We read how stress and illness are connected, how stress affect our immune system.
For me personally this week studies and this research has changed my life. I read every line of the textbook twice. Never in my life did I think that stress could have such a negative impact in our lives. I am now born again; I have changed my life style to reduce stress. I am pursuing happiness. The way I view events has changed, I want to FLOW in all things, including FLOW in my books. I want to engage in stress reduction techniques. Prior to this study, I did not know that stress is a deadly disease.
Two key terms that described this study
The two key terms that best describe the result of this study is Stress and Cardiovascular disorders. We learned that 1 in every 3 death in the United States is caused by cardiovascular disorder, mainly due to our life
