Comprehensive scientific discussion.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is a comprehensive, science-based discussion of how stress, via catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, and sudden death. The author expends great effort in attempting to separate facts, theories, and unfounded assumptions in this highly controversial area. This is a resource for academicians. Lay people probably would not understand the medicalese.
