Hemodynamic responses to standardized mental stress show short-term reproducibility in healthy men; leaves open reliability of catecholamine measures for research.
Does a strictly standardized mental arithmetic stress test show short-term reproducibility for hemodynamic, catecholamine, and subjective responses in healthy young men?
The mental arithmetic stress test demonstrates acceptable short-term reproducibility for hemodynamic and subjective responses, but not for plasma catecholamine changes.
Jern et al. (1991) studied this question.
