@@@ The men and women underwent baseline testing on three mentally stressful tasks, including a mental arithmetic test, a mirror tracing test and an anger recall test. Following this, they were made to take a treadmill test. Researchers also conducted echocardiography to study changes in the heart, took blood samples, and measured blood pressure and heart rate during the mental stress tasks and rest periods between tests.

Researchers were surprised to find that while men had more changes in blood pressure and heart rate in response to the mental stress, more women experienced myocardial ischemia: decreased blood flow to the heart. Researchers also noted that women experienced increased platelet aggregation. This is known to be the start of the formation of blood clots and was more prominent in women than men. Women also displayed a greater increase in negative emotions during the mental stress tests.

"The relationship between mental stress and cardiovascular disease is well known," lead author Zainab Samad, assistant professor of medicine at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina. "This study revealed that mental stress affects the cardiovascular health of men and women differently. We need to recognize this difference when evaluating and treating patients for cardiovascular disease."

"At this point, further studies are needed to test the association of sex differences in the heart's responses to mental stress and long term outcomes," Samad continued. "This study also underscores the inadequacy of available risk prediction tools, which currently fail to measure an entire facet of risk, i.e. the impact of negative physiological responses to psychological stress in both sexes, and especially so among women."

Findings of the study were  published online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
