    Study Notes

    Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease

    • Family history increases the risk of cardiovascular disease
    • Race and gender are also risk factors, with heart disease being the biggest cause of death in women
    • White women are protected until menopause, while black women are at greater risk even before menopause

    Psychological Risk Factors

    • Hostility and anger are the greatest risk factors for heart disease
    • Anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflicts also contribute to the risk
    • Behavioural and physical factors, such as diet and physical inactivity, also play a role
    • Environmental factors include psychosocial stress, physical stress, and dietary factors

    Psychophysiological Reactivity Model

    • Exposure to stress leads to physiological responses, which can result in disease if repeated
    • The model consists of three stages: exposure to stress, physiological response, and disease
    • The rate of recovery from stress may be more important than the stress response itself

    Stress Study

    • Participants were selected based on their hostility levels, as measured by BDHI scores
    • The study involved a 1-hour stress task, during which physiological responses were recorded
    • The study found that high hostility and low hostility groups had similar systolic blood pressure and cardiac output at rest
    • The math task used in the study did not effectively tap into the concept of hostility
    • Interpersonal conflict may be a more effective way to induce anger in participants
