The association between fibrinogen reactivity to mental stress and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T in healthy adults

•We analyzed mental stress, fibrinogen, and CVD within an integrated framework.•Fibrinogen is not a positive mediator between mental stress and CVD.•The higher the fibrinogen response to mental stress is, the lower the risk of CVD, assessed by detectable HS-CTnT levels.
