Brief description Cardiovascular disease is Australia's greatest health problem. It kills more people than any other disease and affected 3.5 million Australians in 2004-05. More and more evidence suggests a relationship between the risk of cardiovascular disease and mental stress. But more research is needed on how stress contributes to heart disease risk. This project aims to determine the role of harmful molecules, called free oxygen radicals, in brain in mediating effects of stress on cardiovascular system.
