Why the study?

Does a family history of hypertension alter regional blood flow and vascular resistance responses to mental stress in adolescents?

Population

25 adolescents (12 with a hypertensive parent and 13 age-matched adolescents with normotensive parents)

Mental stress (mental arithmetic) vs Adolescents with normotensive parents undergoing…

Overview

Hypothesis-generating for early vascular differences in at-risk adolescents; leaves open predictive value and clinical implications.

Structured PICO

Does a family history of hypertension alter regional blood flow and vascular resistance responses to mental stress in adolescents?

P
Population
25 adolescents (12 with a hypertensive parent and 13 age-matched adolescents with normotensive parents)
I
Intervention
Mental stress (mental arithmetic)
C
Comparator
Adolescents with normotensive parents undergoing the same mental stress
O
Outcome
Changes in forearm blood flow, forearm vascular resistance, blood pressure, and heart ratesurrogate

Adolescents with a family history of hypertension exhibit exaggerated regional vasodilatory responses to mental stress despite having similar systemic blood pressure changes compared to peers without such a history.
