Heart Disease: Consequence of Stress

The human body reacts to stress by stimulating the nervous system and two hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) produced by the adrenal glands. These hormones increase heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and metabolism. Aside from that other parts of the body react to control the pressure of the moment. Sweat is created to cool the body. Blood vessels become wide to allow more blood flow and to put our muscles on alert. Pupils dilate to improve vision. The liver releases some of its stored glucose to increase the body’s energy. 

Although the underlining cause is uncertain, if this process is habitual and not controlled you may be at risk of heart disease. According to MedicineNet.com, stress itself might be a risk factor, or it could be that high levels of stress make other risk factors (such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure) worse. They also state that stress changes the way blood clots, which increases the risk of heart attack. 

Hispanic Americans tend to be at higher risk of stressful events that lead to heart disease. According to HSPH (Harvard School of Public Health), a new study shows that U.S-born Hispanics have higher levels of stress than whites and foreign-born Hispanics. Huffpost.com further acknowledges that heart disease is the leading cause of death for Hispanics in the U.S.
