Supplemental Material for Stress and Cardiovascular Disease: Testing a Vigilance Pathway in Two Contemporary Theories

Key Points

• This research aims to test the relevance of a vigilance pathway in understanding cardiovascular disease related to stress.
• Conducted a randomized trial examining the relationship between stress and cardiovascular disease.
• Evaluated various physiological and biological measures as part of the intervention.
• Analyzed data from participants to assess outcomes related to cardiovascular health.
• Found significant effects of the vigilance pathway on stress levels and cardiovascular markers, indicating an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Demonstrated specific physiological responses linked to higher stress, with statistical significance in the results.
