Among normotensive individuals, a family history of essential hypertension is generally associated with elevated levels of cardiovascular arousal during stress. In contrast, aerobic fitness is associated with lowered levels of cardiovascular arousal during stress. It was therefore hypothesized that during psychosocial stress, subjects with a family history of hypertension who were aerobically fit would respond like subjects who did not have a family history of hypertension, and both of those groups would show less arousal than subjects with a family history of hypertension who were not aerobically fit. The predicted patterning of responses was found with heart rate, diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure. The results are discussed in terms of the prophylactic effects of fitness for individuals with a family history of hypertension.
在血压正常的个体中,原发性高血压家族史通常与应激期间心血管兴奋水平升高有关。相比之下,有氧适能与应激期间较低的心血管兴奋水平有关。因此,有人提出假设,在心理社会应激期间,有高血压家族史且有氧适能良好的受试者的反应将与没有高血压家族史的受试者相似,并且这两组受试者的兴奋程度都将低于有高血压家族史但有氧适能不佳的受试者。在心率、舒张压和收缩压方面发现了预期的反应模式。本文从有氧适能对有高血压家族史个体的预防作用方面对结果进行了讨论。
