Following are some of the relationships between stress and the cardiovascular system.

• In some individuals frequent episodes of acute (intense) stress may lead to or aggravate high blood pressure. Stress causes a constriction of blood vessels, leading to greater “resistance” to blood flow, thus causing increased blood pressure. In some people blood pressure remains high only temporarily, while in others it may lead to long term high blood pressure. Lower levels of chronic (constant) stress do not appear to increase the risk of high blood pressure.
