The cardiovascular effects of betel nut were studied in 47 healthy male subjects who were divided into three groups: chronic, occasional and new chewers. Cardiovascular responses measured included heart rate and blood pressure changes following betel chewing. All three groups showed a significant increase in heart rate lasting an average of 16.8 minutes. On the other hand, only the new chewer group showed an increase in systolic blood pressure. Present data indicate that betel chewing can affect cardiovascular function, and that tolerance to the pressor response may occur in habitual users.
在47名健康男性受试者中研究了槟榔的心血管效应，这些受试者被分为三组：长期咀嚼者、偶尔咀嚼者和新咀嚼者。测量的心血管反应包括咀嚼槟榔后的心率和血压变化。所有三组的心率均显著增加，平均持续16.8分钟。另一方面，只有新咀嚼者组的收缩压有所升高。目前的数据表明，咀嚼槟榔会影响心血管功能，并且习惯使用者可能会对升压反应产生耐受性。
