Key result
In response to behavioral stressors, Black men showed higher total peripheral resistance, White men had greater heart rate increases, and men had greater systolic BP increases than women.
Cross-Sectional (n=155)
Hemodynamic responses to behavioral stressors exhibit distinct patterns based on race and gender, with Black men showing higher peripheral resistance and White men showing greater cardiac output increases.

Racial and sex differences in stress hemodynamics may refine risk models; leaves open prognostic value pending longitudinal data.
Light et al. (1993) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular reactivity (n=155). Behavioral stressors vs. Race and gender comparisons was evaluated on Hemodynamic responses (blood pressure, total peripheral resistance, heart rate, cardiac output). In response to behavioral stressors, Black men showed higher total peripheral resistance, White men had greater heart rate increases, and men had greater systolic BP increases than women.
