| Popis: | Cardiovascular responses to three laboratory Stressors (i.e., postural change, treadmill exercise, forehead cold) were evaluated in 106 children (72 Whites, 34 Blacks) who varied in family history (FH) of early myocardial infarction (53 positive FH, 53 negative FH). Subjects were evaluated on two occasions separated by one year. In general, regardless of ethnicity, gender or FH, stability of resting blood pressures (BP) and heart rates were comparable to existing data. Resting cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) stability estimates were comparable or higher than the BP estimates across groups except for the + FH subjects and males who showed poor stability to one or both parameters. Moderate stability was observed for all parameters in response to forehead cold and low to moderate stability was observed in HR, CO, and TPR postural change reactivity. The only consistent pattern of significant differences in stability estimates involved ethnicity. African-Americans exhibited significantly higher coefficients compared to Whites in TPR at rest and during postural change and forehead cold. Reasons for the low to moderate resting and reactivity stability estimates are discussed. |
