More Mice In The Maze
I'm all for looking into what causes illness, but when I heard about the recent research that links stress with heart attacks...well, I thought that had pretty much been established to everyone's satisfaction a long time ago.

No, that was first heart attacks. This is subsequent heart attacks. And here's a good piece about the danger of assuming in science.
Call me crazy, but if stress contributes to one heart attack, I don't consider it a dangerous leap to claim it contributes to another heart attack.
I have some issues with how they define stress. The study's definition is apparently a shitty job.
Unpleasant and probably stressful but I wouldn't let it define the entire term.
My definition of stress would be something really irritating that gives you heart attacks and would cover everything from construction noise to traffic to coitus interruptus.
I believe the study says any stress can do it, including troubled personal relationships.
