Abstract

The evidence in this book provides convergent validation of a causal relationship between workplace stressors and CVD. Here, the editors explore new strategies for enhanced prevention and clinical management, work place interventions, and social policy to reduce the impact of CVD. These strategies acquire an urgent public health dimension, given the magnitude of the CVD epidemic and the current deterioration in conditions of working life.
