Abstract
Summary The relationship between blood pressure reactions on an ergometric and an emotional stress test was studied in a population of 62 normotensive subjects. Significant correlations for systolic (r=0.34,p=0.004) and diastolic (r=0.30,p=0.01) blood pressure were found. It is concluded that 1) there is a individual-specific blood pressure reactivity, 2) Hypertension is closely related to the individualspecific systolic blood pressure reactivity for it is known that hypertensives exhibit stronger systolic blood pressure reactions on both stressors.Keywords
