Key result
Type D personality was associated with increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure reactivity during a cold pressor test.
Why the study?
Is Type D personality associated with an altered autonomic and hemodynamic response to cold stress in undergraduates?
Observational (n=101)
Is Type D personality associated with an altered autonomic and hemodynamic response to cold stress in undergraduates?
Type D personality is associated with an exaggerated hemodynamic response to cold stress, which may contribute to an increased risk of hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May indicate heightened hypertension risk via stress reactivity; extends observational links but leaves causality and clinical utility open.
Kupper et al. (2013) reported an observational. Type D personality vs. Non-Type D personality was evaluated on Hemodynamic response to cold stress (blood pressure reactivity). Type D personality was associated with increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure reactivity during a cold pressor test.
