Background: Some previous works on the psychological impact of speech on the cardiovascular system have mainly focused on the speaker as the individual in whom clinical outcomes are being measured. There is limited data on the effects of listening to the fast speech on cardiovascular responses. Aim: The aim of the study was to comparatively examine blood pressure and heart rate changes upon listening to normal and fast speeches. Method: A total of 88 (22 females and 66 males) normotensive adults were recruited for the study from a university population. All subjects were made to listen to two different 13-minutes audio recordings of normal speech (news commentary) and fast speech (a radio sports presentation). Blood pressure and pulse rate changes were taken at 4-minutes time intervals during listening to the audio recordings. Based on the enthusiasm and patronage of the sports program, participants were classified as ‘‘Regular’’ listeners and ‘‘Non-regular’’ listeners. Blood pressure and pulse rate changes were calculated as the mean net area under the curve response and differences were analysed with analysis of variance. Results: Systolic, diastolic and pulse rate responses were significantly higher in both the Regular and Non-Regular listener groups during listening to the fast-speech audio presentation as compared to the News Commentary presentation. Conclusion: Although there is limited data, listening to fast speech itself may act as a psychosocial stressor that predisposes to an increased cardiovascular response manifested as higher blood pressure and heart rate.

Abstract Introduction: Tai-Chi-Chuan and Yoga have becoming popular practices. However is unclear the cardiovascular effects, and if they present similar behavior to aerobic and resistance sessions. Objective: To evaluate the cardiovascular responses during the session and post-exercise hypotension (PEH) of Tai Chi Chuan (TS) and Yoga (YS) in comparison to aerobic (AS) and resistance (SR) exercises. Methods: Fourteen young women (22.3 ± 2 years) apparently healthy performed four sessions (AS, RS, TS and YS). The heart rate (HR), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded at resting, during (every 10 minutes) and until 50 minutes of recovery. Results: AS, RS, TS e YS showed significant increase in HR compared to resting.AS at 10, 30 e 50 minutes in relation to RS, TS e YS. The RS in relation to TS and YS at 10, 30 and 50 minutes. No significant difference between TS and YS. SBP was significantly increased in AS, RS, TS e YS at 10, 30 e 50 minutes during the session, in relation to rest. AS was significantly higher at 30 e 50 minutes than RS and higher than TS and YS at 10, 30 e 50 minutes. No significant difference in DBP. For PEH, AS, RS and TS significantly reduced at 10, 30 and 50 minutes. YS reduced at 50 minutes. No significant diastolic PEH. Conclusion: TS and YS showed as safe alternatives of exercising in the normotensive young adult woman, despite having lower values, they promote similar hemodynamic behavior to AS and RS.

Abstract Background and Purpose. Repetitive exercises of the type recommended by McKenzie for the lumbar spine, such as flexion and extension exercises in standing (FIS and EIS) and lying positions (FIL and EIL), have been used in the management of low back pain for over 20 years. The cardiovascular effects of exercises that involve postural stabilization and the arms and of exercises performed in a lying position are well known. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the cardiovascular effects of 4 exercises used in the McKenzie system. Subjects and Methods. One hundred subjects without cardiovascular or cardiopulmonary disease (mean age=31 years, SD=6.1, range=22–44) and who were representative of people susceptible to low back pain were studied. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 exercise groups (ie, FIS, EIS, FIL, and EIL). Subjects performed sets of 10, 15, and 20 repetitions of the assigned exercise, with a 15-minute rest between sets. Heart rate, blood pressure, and rate-pressure product (an index of myocardial work) were recorded before and after each set of repetitions. Results. After 10 repetitions, flexion and extension in lying were more hemodynamically demanding than in standing. This trend persisted for 15 and 20 repetitions; however, at 20 repetitions, the hemodynamic demands were different across exercise groups (ie, FIL>EIL>FIS>EIS). Discussion and Conclusion. Repetitive exercises of the type suggested by McKenzie for the lumbar spine can have cardiovascular effects in people with no cardiovascular or cardiopulmonary conditions. These effects may be important with respect to cardiac work, and patients for whom these exercises are indicated should have a cardiac and pulmonary risk factor assessment to determine whether heart rate and blood pressure should be monitored.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the acute effect of rest interval length on cardiovascular response after resistance exercise. METHODS: Twenty young eutrophic men (23.9 ± 0.7 years;23.8 ± 0.5 kg/m²) performed two experimental sessions in a random order: resistance exercise with a 30-second (I30) and with a 90-second (I90) rest interval between sets. Both sessions included five exercises with 50% of the one-repetition maximum. Before and 24 hours after the experimental sessions, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), and rate-pressure product (RPP) were obtained. RESULTS: The SBP, DBP and RPP responses were similar between the I30 and I90 sessions (p>0.05), while the HR after I30 was significantly higher than after I90 (p<0.01) for the first hour after exercise. The cardiovascular responses during the first 24 hours were similar between both sessions (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Different recovery intervals did not promote post-exercise hypotension, however, a short rest interval increases heart rate for 1 hour after exercise. In addition, within 24 hours of the responses were similar between groups.

To determine the reliability of cardiovascular responses to isometric exercise of different intensities, and to compare adult versus child responses, 27 boys (7–9 years old) and 27 men (18–26 years old) performed static handgrip exercise at 10, 20, and 30% of previously determined maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) for three min each on different days, while heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) were measured. HR reliability was moderately high at all intensities in both boys and men ranging from R = 0.52–0.87. BP reliability was moderate in men and boys at 30% MVC while at 10% and 20% MVC reliability was very low for boys and only moderate for men. HR response from pre- to 3-min of static exercise was not different between boys versus men at any intensity. At 30% MVC diastolic (20.2 vs. 29.3 mmHg), systolic (17.4 vs. 36.2 mmHg) and mean (19.2 vs. 31.6 mmHg) BP responses were lower in boys versus men, respectively. At 20% MVC SBP (6.8 vs. 14.3 mmHg) and MBP (8.4 vs. 12.6 mmHg) responses were lower in boys versus men, respectively. In conclusion, the reliability of cardiovascular response to isometric exercise is low at low contraction intensities and moderate at higher contraction intensities. Further, BP response in men at 30% MVC is higher than boys, while responses are similar at lower contraction intensities.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, prior studies have modified the Trier Social Stress Test to be conducted remotely. The current report aimed to extend these studies to test whether a remote Trier Social Stress Test (rTSST) can elicit (a) affective, (b) blood pressure, and (c) heart rate responses relative to a control condition and whether these responses were reliable when assessed one week later. Participants (N = 99, 19.7 ± 3.5 years, 55% female) were randomized to a control or stress condition. Controls completed easier versions of the tasks with a single, friendly researcher. Stress participants performed more difficult versions of the task in front of two judges who participants believed were rating their performance. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured every two minutes throughout, while affect was assessed at baseline, after the final task, and following recovery. The rTSST was feasible to administer with minimal technical issues reported. Results suggest that lower positive affect and higher negative affect were reported during the tasks in the stress condition relative to controls. Similarly, stress participants had higher cardiovascular responses during the tasks relative to controls, except that blood pressure was not elevated during mental arithmetic in stress participants relative to controls. Cardiovascular responses demonstrated good test-retest reliability when assessed one week later, especially when computed using area under the curve methods. Overall, a rTSST can be used to elicit affective and cardiovascular reactivity and provides an opportunity to include participants previously unreachable for in-person laboratory procedures.

We measured reactivity to a stress paradigm during the premenstrual period in 19 women affected by Menstrually Related Disorders (MRD) and in 11 normal controls. Eight had premenstrual syndrome diagnosed by the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire and 11 suffered menstrual migraine, diagnosed according to International Headache Society criteria. Subjects were observed during two menstrual cycles and submitted to a psychocognitive test (Stroop Color Word) during the luteal phase. In both groups the stimulation by Stroop C-W was present for systolic blood pressure (SBP) (F = 18.14, p = 0.000), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (F = 9.56, p = 0.000), and heart rate (F = 12.80, p = 0.000). Moreover, an interaction of response by group was present for DBP (2.58, p = 0.04); DBP values were higher in MRD subjects. Also baseline DBP values were higher in MRD with respect to controls. Area under the curve (AUC) subtracted from baseline for the SBP, DBP and heart rate did not differ between groups. In conclusion, MRD subjects facing a cognitive stress had normal cardiovascular response. However, patients had increased arousal of cardiovascular measures before and after testing. The significant differences during stress of testing were dissociated from those of experimental stress stimulation. MRD subjects may have less ability to cope with novelty than healthy volunteers.

Cardiovascular responses to the intravenous administration of adrenaline were measured as a means of assessing cardiovascular reactivity in intact anaesthetized dogs, before and at 3 hours and 3 days after the rapid production of anaemia by a dextran-for-blood exchange. Three types of experiments were carried out. In experiments A and B, 2.0 and 5.0 μg/kg of adrenaline (respectively) were injected intravenously before and at both periods after exchange, and the changes in arterial blood pressure were assessed. In experiment B the changes in the arterial plasma concentration of potassium and sodium were also measured. In experiment C, several cardiovascular parameters, including cardiac output (Fick method), arterial pressure, and heart rate, were measured before and at the end of a 15-minute infusion of adrenaline in a dose of 0.2 μg/kg minute. In all three experiments, evidence of a reduced cardiovascular response to adrenaline was found when the dogs were anaemic; and in experiment B the adrenaline-induced hyperkalaemia and hyponatraemia were found to be significantly reduced during anaemia.The mechanism of the hyporeactivity to adrenaline during anaemia is not clear, but may include changes in blood volume, electrolyte disturbances, and severe anoxia.

It has been shown that blood pressure and pulse rate are increased and skin temperature of the extremities is decreased when normal subjects smoke two-thirds of two cigarettes during a period of about 15 min. This standard smoking test has been performed on university students before and after treatment with reserpine (0.25 mg daily) to determine the effect of reserpine on cardiovascular responses to smoking. Blood pressure, pulse rate, finger and toe temperature changes were recorded before and during the smoking test in untreated students and after administration of reserpine for 14 days. The maximum change from control values in ten untreated students and after 14 days of reserpine, respectively, along with P values for differences were as follows: systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) +17, +8, P < .001; diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg) +14, +7, P < .001; pulse rate (beats/ min) +27, +13, P < .001; finger temperature (F) -6.4, -4.0, P < .1; toe temperature (F) -2.7, -4.2. Results show that the characteristic increase in blood pressure and pulse rate and, to a lesser extent, the decrease in finger temperature due to smoking are reduced by pretreatment with reserpine.

The aim of the present study was to compare the responses of blood pressure, heart rate, and rate-pressure product of hypertensive women using beta-blockers with healthy controls during resistance exercise (by the end of the concentric phase of the contractions) and in the postexercise period (5 and 30 minutes after). Ten untrained normotensive women (N) and 10 mildly hypertensive females receiving 40 mg/day of propanolol (H) were selected. Three sets of 10 repetitions at 80% of 10 repetitions maximum with 30 s rest interval were performed on the leg press exercise. The H group exhibited lower systolic blood pressure after the second set compared with N. Heart rate and rate-pressure product were lower in H in all analyzed periods compared with N. Propanolol attenuates the cardiovascular response to a leg press resistance exercise in mildly hypertensive women.

Dose Dependent Fashion

The synthetic amino terminal fragment of parathyroid hormone, PTH-(1-34), is a potent coronary artery vasodilator in the dog. In the present study, using instrumented open-chest dogs, we have performed the initial characterization of this effect and showed other dose-related cardiovascular effects of the hormone. A near-maximal flow response was obtained after intracoronary injection of 0.024 nmol X kg-1 PTH-(1-34) with minor, if any, concomitant changes in mean blood pressure, contractile force, or heart rate. At higher doses, mean blood pressure decreased while contractile force and heart rate increased in dose-dependent fashion. Infusion of PTH-(1-34) for 20 min showed that the vasodilatory effect could be sustained without a concomitant decrease in mean arterial pressure. Pharmacological characterization showed for the first time that the coronary response to PTH-(1-34) was unaltered in the presence of beta- or alpha-adrenergic, muscarinic, or histaminergic blockades. We conclude that PTH-(1-34), an endogenous circulating calcemic peptide, produces a large increase in coronary blood flow at doses sufficiently low to preclude complicating effects on blood pressure, contractile force, and heart rate. Furthermore, the results suggest that the vasodilatory effects may be specific.
