1. Stress is not ALWAYS a bad thing to the body, particularly to the cardiovascular system, but chronic and repeated stress is. (YES or NO)
YES
2. Chronic stress has numerous effects on the cardiovascular system such as:
1. elevated heart rate
2. elevated blood pressure
3. increased stress hormones
4. increased oxygen in the heart
5. altered heart rhythms
3. An additional effect of stress on the heart for women is called "broken heart syndrome" - causing coronary spasm which decreases the amount of blood flow to the heart.
4. Briefly explain the link between stroke and cardiovascular disease and stress.
Prolonged stress causes elevated heart rate and blood pressure which are the 2 main contributors to developing stroke and cardiovascular disease.
Stroke occurs when people have prolonged high blood pressure over time and the blood vessels to the brain get narrowed causing lack of blood supply to the brain.
Elevated heart rate and blood pressure lead to plaque buildup in the arteries of the heart.
When these plaques weaken and rupture over time causing injury and blood clots leading to heart attack.
5. Women usually present fatigue and weakness as symptoms of stress linked to cardiovascular disease, instead of the classic symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
