This article reviews literature concerning functional changes resulting from elevated blood pressure, from reduction of blood pressure, and as a result of the medications used to treat high blood pressure. The research reviewed includes the areas of psychomotor speed, intelligence and cognitive processing, sensory and perceptual processes, and emotional and interpersonal behaviors. The conclusions reached are that the deficits noted to date in hypertensive individuals are not extreme nor are they specific. The greatest disadvantage, however, appears in the area of response speed.
本文回顾了有关血压升高、血压降低以及用于治疗高血压的药物所导致的功能变化的文献。所回顾的研究涵盖了心理运动速度、智力与认知加工、感觉与知觉过程以及情绪与人际行为等领域。得出的结论是，迄今为止在高血压个体中所发现的缺陷并不极端，也不具有特异性。然而，最大的劣势似乎出现在反应速度方面。
