Abstract
The cardiovascular response to psychological stimuli is central to current research and theorising on the psychophysiological and neurogenic aspects of cardiovascular disease. It is implicated in the development of hypertension (Folkow 1982; Obrist 1981; Fredrikson and Matthews 1990), coronary atherosclerosis (Manuck et al. 1983), and as the physiological mechanism linking type A behaviour and coronary heart disease or even as a risk factor in its own right (Krantz and Manuck 1984). Outside the area of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular reactivity is related to the development and maintenance of anxiety and panic disorders (Clark 1986; Ehlers et al. 1988).
Much of the research reported in this paper was supported by the Medical Research Council of Great Britain.
