Returning to stressful jobs puts heart attack victims at risk of another attack

This is probably no surprise to all, but if you have health insurance from your employer...do you have a choice? Can employers also work with employees to create a less stressful work environment too...a team effort? BD

According to a new study heart attack survivors who return to jobs which are stressful run the risk of having another heart attack. The Canadian researchers say their findings highlight the importance of heart attack survivors effectively managing the stress that is associated with their work and the issue is about having control over the workload. The researchers from Laval University in Quebec followed some 1,000 patients as they returned to the work place and found that over a six year period over 200 suffered another heart problem and it was those with job strain who fared the worse with twice the risk of another heart problem.
