Abstract
Chronic stress has been recognized as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in young women. This chapter explores the complex relationship between chronic stress and cardiovascular health, highlighting the specific vulnerabilities of young women and the implications for prevention and treatment. Current research suggests that chronic stress can affect cardiovascular health through multiple pathways, including physiological, behavioral, and psychosocial changes. Young women can be particularly susceptible due to hormonal, social, and cultural factors. Effective stress management and cardiovascular health promotion strategies are crucial to reduce the risk of CVD in this population.
