• Description:
  This chapter focuses on cardiovascular disease, which continues to be the leading cause of death for men and women in all the industrialized nations. The authors note that the mortality rates have dropped over the past 40 years, yet the incidence rates have shown little or no decline over the past 20 years. The chapter emphasizes the link between workplace stressors and cardiovascular disease, with emphasis on the epidemiological data, and explores the mechanism by which work stressors lead to cardiovascular outcomes. The chapter closes with a discussion of the prevention and management of work related hypertension and cardiovascular disease [Description provided by NIOSH]
