An experimental study is presented on 32 normotensives subject. This study examined the cardiovascular effects of active and passive coping on pulse transit time, heart rate, and skin conductance. Active coping enhances cardiovascular response presumably by beta-adrenergically mediated myocardial activation.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
