Gender-specific stress reactivity linked to hypertension family history and fitness should not yet alter practice; leaves open prospective validation of targeted interventions.
Do gender, hypertension risk, and aerobic fitness influence cardiovascular responses to laboratory-induced stress in nonsymptomatic subjects?
Cardiovascular responses to stress vary by gender and family history of hypertension, with aerobic fitness levels influencing diastolic blood pressure responses.
Plante et al. (1997) studied this question.
