Stress-induced cardiovascular responses to cold pressure test in healthy young subjects

Hypertension is one of the leading diseases cardiovascular system. It manifested by changes in arterial stiffness. Cardiovascular reactivity, especially blood pressure (BP), during cold pressor test (CPT) depending on various factors. Undoubtedly, stress most important The aim study to investigate effects CPT responses healthy young subjects. 56 individuals aged between 21 and 26 years have been investigated. (BP, heart rate, aortic pulse wave velocity) were recorded using applanation tonometry. Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale State-Trait Anxiety Inventory assessed. 32,14%(n=18) who had showed difference systolic BP more than 22 mm Hg diastolic 18 after defined as hyperreactors. Hyperreactors a significantly higher increase sleep disturbances (P > 0.01) anxiety when compared normoreaktors. used diagnose reactivity assessment perceived can help identify candidates for future risk hypertonic disease.
