As per the researchers of a new study, women who have stressful jobs/careers with little or no room for authority or creativity are twice more likely to suffer a heart attack as compared to those in less demanding jobs.
These professional women are also more likely to suffer from strokes, cardiac arrest and high blood pressure due to their stressful work life.
While commenting on the study results, lead study researcher Dr. Michelle Albert, a cardiologist at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, United States, said in a press release, “The big thing is, what’s happening to you now in terms of mental tension has long-term effects on your health.”
