Blood pressure and heart rate reactions of 182 confirmed offspring of normotensive (110 female, 72 male) and 112 offspring of hypertensive (66 female, 46 male) individuals to the stressor of blood donation were examined. Subjects were tested at two sites, one in the United States and one in Canada. Although influenced by site, young normotensive offspring of hypertensives generally exhibited significantly greater blood pressure levels in anticipation of donating blood than offspring of normotensives. The higher reactivity of offspring of hypertensives observed in stressful laboratory settings may generalize to more ecologically valid settings, even those which, like blood donation, require passive coping efforts.
对182名血压正常者的确诊后代（110名女性，72名男性）和112名高血压患者的后代（66名女性，46名男性）在献血应激源下的血压和心率反应进行了检查。受试者在两个地点进行测试，一个在美国，一个在加拿大。尽管受到地点的影响，但高血压患者的年轻血压正常后代在预期献血时的血压水平通常比血压正常者的后代显著更高。在压力实验室环境中观察到的高血压患者后代的较高反应性可能会推广到更符合生态学效度的环境中，甚至是那些像献血一样需要被动应对努力的环境。
