Need another persuasive reason to quit your high-stress job?
New research suggests strain at work puts you at risk of not just one heart attack, but more than one.

The findings were startling. 
Middle-aged heart attack victims who went back to their stressful jobs were twice as likely to suffer a second heart attack or related problem, and in some of those cases, the second heart attack was fatal.
