“…In general, not only physical activity but also mental states, such as anxiety and nervousness, increased heart rate (Henry, 1983;Krantz & Manuck, 1984;Lovallo & Wilson, 1992). Lacey, Kagan, Lacey, and Moss (1963) suggested that heart rate decreased during environmental intake, and accelerated while performing a difficult mental task.…”

In the present study we examined the differences in communication stress responses, as they were affected by levels of linguistic ability, and measured by heart rate and blinking during a telephone communication. Nine female participants were selected as representative of the medium level of communication skills and linguistic level assessed by questionnaires. They were assigned to 3 conversation tasks: Japanese, English, and French. The questionnaires (STAI and Iceberg Profile) were also assessed. The results showed that both blinking rate and heart rate during the English and the Japanese tasks were higher than during the French task. Results from the questionnaires showed that the highest communication stress occurred during the conversation in English.

“…Either the cardiovascular system can re-set its blood pressure to a high level to take account of the frequent uctuations (Obrist 1976); or else the heart itself can swell up like an overused muscle and put ever-increasing strain on the comparatively timid arteries (Folkow 1990;Lovallo and Wilson 1992). Anxiety and stress are also associated with a number of less complex factors that undoubtedly impinge negatively upon recovery, such as sleep loss, smoking and loss of appetite (resulting from a reduced blood ow to the stomach (Rosenzweig et al 1999)).…”

“…elevations in men at high risk for hypertension~HiRsk!. Essential hypertension is a significant cause of organ damage, contributing to cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, and BP responses to behavioral stress may contribute to disease pro-gression~Everson, Kaplan, Goldberg, & Salonen, 1996;Lovallo & Wilson, 1992a, 1992b As an aid to depicting the development of hypertension, an accurate description of cardiac output and vascular resistance in HiRsk persons is critical to evaluating competing models of hypertension and the potential for behavioral factors to contribute to the development of the disease.…”

“…There are two primary models of hypertension development Lovallo & Wilson, 1992a, 1992b!. The hyperkinetic circulatory model postulates an inappropriately elevated cardiac output with normal vascular resistance~Julius, Esler, & Randall, 1975!.…”

“…The second model focuses on the action of intrinsic growth factors that would directly cause thickening of blood vessels and the left ventricle at all stages of the disease~Folkow, 1990; Lee, Bohm, Paul, & Ganten, 1993;Lovallo & Wilson, 1992a, 1992b in the presence of normal hemodynamic stimuli~Anversa, Capasso, Olivetti, & Sonnenblick, 1992;Bergbrant, Hansson, & Jern, 1993;Korner, Angus, Bobik, & Jennings, 1991!.

Persons at risk for hypertension may show elevated blood pressure (BP) at rest and during mental stress; however, the hemodynamics underlying the BP of those persons at high risk are not well characterized. We chose 21 high risk and 21 low risk men using their parental hypertension history and resting systolic blood pressures on two screenings. Then, on a day of extended rest versus a day with prolonged mental arithmetic and reaction time tasks, we examined whether high risk BP elevations reflected greater vascular resistance or cardiac output. High risk men had raised systolic/diastolic pressures (Fs = 74/15, ps < .0001/.0001) and higher vascular resistance (F = 6.6, p < .02) with minimal differences in heart rate and cardiac output. This finding implicates vascular resistance as the altered element in BP control in these high risk men tested in a familiar environment with minimal task-related threat.
