A new study has found differences in how men and women respond to stress, according to researchers from McGill University.

The study, which included researchers from McGill University and Concordia University, found that women who reported high levels of stress show early signs of heart tissue changes associated with cardiovascular disease. Researchers said they did not find the same effect in men.
