August 20, 2010 | | Why Stress is Much More Important than Cholesterol or LDL | | |  By Dr. Paul J. Rosch, M.D., M.A., F.A.C.P.
High cholesterol is not associated with increased risk for heart attacks or other coronary events in people older than 65, or women of any age. Senior citizens with high cholesterols actually have significantly fewer infections and live longer than those with low cholesterol. In addition, no association between cholesterol levels and the severity or extent of atherosclerosis has ever been found in routine autopsy studies.
In contrast, the causal relationship between acute stress, depression, anxiety, Type A behavior and coronary disease has been well documented. Paul J. Rosch, M.D., M.A., F.A.C.P. Dr. Paul J. Rosch is President of The American Institute of Stress,
Clinical Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry at New York Medical College,
Honorary Vice President of the International Stress Management Association and Chairman of its U.S. branch. | | Depression, Anxiety and Heart Disease | | | By Dr. Paul J. Rosch, M.D., M.A., F.A.C.P.
Most stress research has focused on depression, which is a significant risk factor for coronary events, as well as congestive heart failure and premature death following a heart attack. Recent research has also started to focus on anxiety. An article in the May 2010 issue of the American Heart Journal that reviewed the medical records of 97,000 U.S. veterans reported that "When the researchers accounted for a number of other factors related to heart attack risk, people with anxiety disorders were anywhere from 25 percent to 43 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack than those with no anxiety disorders." | | Books by Dr Duane Graveline, MD MPH | | Advertisement | The Statin Damage Crisis by Duane Graveline MD MPH Paperback  Buy Now
