Cardiovascular diseases occupy a leading role in the structure of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This fact justifies the necessity to study cardiovascular risk factors and develop new ways of cardiovascular prevention. Stress is an established cardiovascular risk factor. Future research was needed to understand the effect of listening to a foreign text on some cardiovascular parameters. The study involved 42 students (21 Russianspeaking students and 21 English-speaking students) of the second course of Medical academy named after S. I. Georgievsky. Indicators of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were recorded, the level of personal anxiety was determined using the Spielberger-Hanin test during the rest, after listening to the native and foreign texts. A linear correlation between the indicators of personal anxiety and the level of systolic blood pressure in both groups was revealed. A statistically significant shift in cardiovascular parameters was established after listening to a foreign text in students' groups. The received data of cardiovascular parameters show the necessity to continue further investigate the influence of foreign language learning process to the human cardiovascular system. This research can show possible predictions of the cardiovascular pathology development in susceptible individuals.
