May refine CV risk stratification; extends prior evidence with longitudinal meta-analytic support.
Structured PICO
Does greater cardiovascular response to laboratory mental stress predict poor subsequent cardiovascular risk status?
P
Population
Participants in prospective cohort studies evaluating cardiovascular responses to laboratory mental stress (36 articles for stress reactivity, 5 articles for poststress recovery)
I
Intervention
Greater cardiovascular reactivity to and poor recovery from laboratory mental stress
C
Comparator
Lower or normal cardiovascular reactivity and recovery
O
Outcome
Subsequent cardiovascular risk status (including elevated blood pressure, hypertension, left ventricular mass, subclinical atherosclerosis, and clinical cardiac events)composite
Greater cardiovascular reactivity to and poor recovery from acute mental stress are significantly associated with an increased risk of future adverse cardiovascular status.
