The Relationship Among Heart Rate, Carotid dP/dt, and Blood Pressure in Humans as a Function of the Type of Stress

Abstract: In three experiments involving young adult males, beta‐adrenergic influences on heart rate and carotid dP/dt were evaluated as a function of the degree of individual control over stressful events. Beta‐adrenergic effects were more pronounced under conditions in which the subjects were either led to believe they had control or where some control was actually provided, i.e., a shock avoidance task. Beta‐adrenergic influences were either minimal or rapidly dissipated under conditions where no control was possible… Show more

“…As a pe-sive physical stressor, the CP task would be expected to elicit greater DBP increases and smaller SBP and HR changes (Obrist et al, 1978). These expectations were not totally realized in this study.…”

“…The vigilance task had a duration of, 14 min. A 2-to 3-min resting baseline preceded each stressor, and a final minute followed the last (see Obrist et al, 1978, for details).…”

“…Obrist and his colleagues (Obrist, Gaebelein, Teller, Langer, Gringolo, Light, & McCubbin, 1978;Obrist et aI., 1974;Obrist, Light, McCubbin, Hutcheson, & Hoffer, 1979) have, for the last few years, been examining stress-induced sympathetic influences on the heart. One situation has been a reaction time task with electric shock contingent upon performance.…”
