Mental stress results in the release of catecholamines, an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and vascular resistance, as well as electrical instability. In addition it has been linked to increased HS-CRP level decreased activity of vasodilators such as nitric oxide and hypercoagulable state that can contribute to acute ischemic events.
