BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have shown significant ethnic differences in
coronary heart disease death rates with South Asians showing significantly greater coronary …

Compared to other ethnic groups, Asian Americans show significantly lower rates of
cardiovascular disease (CVD). We tested the hypothesis that Asian Americans would show …

Asian Indians have approximately 3 times the rate of coronary artery disease as do age-
matched European Americans, but the increased risk cannot be explained by the presence …

This study tested the hypotheses that ambulatory heart rate and blood pressure would be
higher for individuals high but not low in hostility when they experienced negative affect or …

Urbanization is a worldwide phenomenon and is most often accompanied by an increased
prevalence of western‐type diseases like hypertension. The higher cardiovascular reactivity …

Background: It has been proposed that increased physiological responses (ie,
cardiovascular reactivity) to a stressor or stressors may increase the risk of developing …

Abstract Backgrounds and Objectives: Stress-induced increase in heart-rate and blood
pressure is termed cardiovascular reactivity (CVR). Various studies are designed to monitor …

The current study examined whether the perception of life stress related to cardiovascular
reactivity. Participants (n= 100) completed the Perceived Stress Scale, the Undergraduate …

Heightened cardiovascular stress responsivity is associated with cardiovascular disease,
but the origins of heightened responsivity are unclear. The present study investigated …

Cardiovascular (CV) responsivity to and recovery from acute laboratory stressors, as derived
from aggregate scores of CV functioning during and after postural change, video game …
