Stress-reactivity in the Dutch hypertension and offspring study : an epidemiological approach to the psychophysiology of early hypertension

Blood pressure is constantly and carefully regulated to maintain perfusion of organs and tissues under different conditions. Since the beginning of this century, many mechanisms have been discovered which detect and maintain tissue blood flow and arterial pressure at levels that are optimal for survival during conditions ranging from sleep to exercise.
