月英语四六级真题解析专题。
And if stress in childhood can lead to heart disease, what about current
stresses? Longer work hours, threats of layoffs, collapse in pension funds. A
study last year in the Lancered examined more than 11,000 heart attack sufferers
from 52 countries. It found that in the year before their heart attacks,
patients have been under significantly more stress than some 13,000 healthy
control subjects. Those stresses came from work, family, financial trouble,
depression and other causes.
Each of these factors individually was associated with increased risk, says
Dr. Salim Yosef, professor of medicine at Canada’s McMaster University, and
senior investigator on the study. Together they accounted for 30% of overall
heart attack risk, but people respond differently to high pressure work
situations. Whether it produces heart problems seems to depend on whether you
have a sense of control over life, or live at the mercy of circumstances and
superiors.
That was the experience of Jano Cano, a roughed Illinois laboratory
manager, who suffered his first heart attack in 1996 at the age of 56. In the
two years before, his mother and two of his children had suffered serious
illnesses, and his job had been changed in a reorganization. “My life seemed
completely out of control,” he says, “I had no idea where I would end up.” He
ended up in hospital due to a block in his artery. Two months later, he had a
triple bypass surgery. A second heart attack when he was 58 left his doctor
shaking his head. “There’s nothing more we can do for you,” doctors told
him.
