cardiovascular reactivity  

Definición

  • Cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) has been defined by Stephen B. Manuck, a seminal theorist in this area, as “an individual's propensity to experience cardiovascular reactions of greater or lesser magnitude, in relation to those of other persons, when encountering behavioral stimuli experienced as engaging, challenging, or aversive” (Manuck, 1994). Several studies indicate that behavioral and psychosocial factors such as anger, hostility, Type A personality, lack of social support, and exposure to stress are linked to hypertension (HTN) and/or coronary heart disease (CHD).
