Abstract
The 4-year stability of cardiovascular responses to laboratory psychological stress (mental arithmetic) was examined in 75 adults. The stability coefficients were .76 for heart rate (HR) change and .81 for absolute HR, .66 for systolic blood pressure (SBP) change and .52 for absolute SBP, .16 for diastolic blood pressure (DBP) change and .27 for absolute DBP. Males had greater SBP and DBP reactivity than females in the first session, but this reactivity decreased by the 4-year follow-up session (which was not the case for women).Entities:
