Cardiovascular reactivity to psychological stress & disease /

Show other versions (1)

The purpose of this book is to evaluate the evidence concerning the so-called cardiovascular reactivity hypothesis. In its simplest form, this hypothesis states that excess cardiovascular reactivity to psychological stress may constitute a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. /// Three broad aims...
