Do cardiovascular responses to laboratory stress relate to ambulatory blood pressure levels?: Yes, in some of the people, some of the time.

摘要: Because the correspondence between laboratory measures of blood pressure and heart rate responses to stress ambulatory is less than optimal, this study tested two hypotheses: Are elevated during periods perceived stress, relative no stress? pressures among those individuals who exhibit These questions were addressed in a sample employed, middle-aged men premenopausal postmenopausal women, vary reproductive hormone status, risk for coronary disease. All participants performed series studies while their physiological parameters monitored then wore an monitor day half. This recorded every half hour waking hours at same time assessed mood states. After excluding reported variability levels, cardiovascular reactors speech task exhibited levels stress. Furthermore, general, associated on within subject basis with pressure. results suggest that field would be improved by taking into account environmental circumstances assessments person characteristics reactor-nonreactor
