- Abstract:
- Emotional stress is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular events, the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. To evaluate how emotional stress effects hemodynamics, thirteen healthy German soccer fans (mean 37.6 years, 24-56 years) were studied during live TV coverage of the finals with German national team participation (GP) and the respective finals without German participation (noGP). Peripheral blood pressure, heart rate, central blood pressure, augmentation pressure and index, cardiac output and peripheral resistance were measured. In the 1st hour before the match all parameters were not significantly different between the groups. In the GP group peripheral systolic pressure (1st halftime noGP 118 ± 1(s.e.m) versus GP 126 ± 2 mmHg, p<0.05, 2nd 117 ± 1 vs. 125 ± 2 mmHg, p<0.05), mean blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate (1st 73 ± 2 vs. 86 ± 3 bpm, p<0.05, 2nd 75 ± 2 vs. 87 ± 2 bpm, p<0.05), cardiac output (1st 4,4 ± 0,1 versus 4,8 ± 0,1L/min, p<0.05, 2nd 4,6 ± 0,1 versus 4,7 ± 0,11 L/min, p>0.05) and peripheral resistance were significantly increased compared to the noGP group during the matches. Systolic central aortic pressure (noGP: 101 ± 2 versus GP 107 ± 2 mmHg, p<0.05) and central pulse pressure (noGP: 31.3 ± 1.3 mmHg vs. GP: 38.5 ± 2.7 mmHg, p<0,05) remained elevated during the second hour after the match. We observed persistent changes in central hemodynamics 2h after emotional stress. Despite normalization of peripheral values after the end of the finals, we observed prolonged elevation of central systolic blood and pulse pressure. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the increased risk of cardiovascular events in emotional stress. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
