TL;DR
Information derived from theoretical models on psychosocial work environment may help to better identify populations at risk and to develop and apply specific, theory-guided preventive activities in the future.

This is apparently the first report showing independent effects of components of two alternative job stress models-the effort-reward imbalance model and the job strain model (job control only)-on coronary heart disease.

This authoritative work is the first to analyze critically the entire range of research and theory on stress in animals and humans, from the earliest studies in the 1930s up to the present day, and supplies a new working definition and classification of stressful experience.

Findings lend support to the hypothesis that effort-reward imbalance represents a specific constellation of stressful experience at work related to cardiovascular risk.

Swedish civil servants, who reported considerable stress while working in larger government authorities, were randomized into either a work stress reduction intervention or a control group, which has implications for the efficacy of work stress interventions in decreasing coronary risk.
