And if so, do strategies to better manage stress effectively lower blood pressure? In this authoritative and comprehensive book, Kevin T. Larkin examines more than a half-century of empirical evidence obtained to test the common assumption that stress is associated with the onset and maintenance of essential hypertension (high blood pressure).While the research confirms that stress does play a role in the exacerbation of essential hypertension, numerous other factors must also be considered, among them obesity, exercise, and smoking, as well as demographic, constitutional, and psychological concerns. The author discusses the effectiveness of strategies developed to manage stress and thereby lower blood pressure and concludes with suggestions and directions for further study. 410 0$aCurrent perspectives in psychology. 606 $aEssential hypertension$xEtiology 606 $aStress (Psychology) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEssential hypertension$xEtiology. 615 0$aStress (Psychology) 676 $a616.1/32 700 $aLarkin$b Kevin T$0911279 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451796003321 996 $aStress and hypertension$92478352 997 $aUNINA
