The Stress-Heart Attack Connection and the Role of Adrenaline
This chapter explores how chronic stress can increase adrenaline production, leading to glucose release and the creation of pyruvate, lactate, and lactic acid, causing hypoxia. It also discusses how stress can result in vasoconstriction, particularly in the coronary artery, similar to excessive sugar consumption, emphasizing the factors that contribute to high levels of adrenaline.
