The effects of caffeine on cardiovascular activity at rest and during psychological stress were examined in 33 healthy male college students who did not normally ingest caffeinated products. Caffeine (250 mg) and placebo were administered double‐blind in separate sessions. Heart rate, blood pressure, and forearm blood flow and vascular resistance were assessed at rest and during the stressful, competitive performance of a mental arithmetic task. Comparisons of caffeine and placebo sessions revealed that caffeine elevated resting blood pressure 4–6 mmHg, an effect which added to the elevation produced by stress. Caffeine did not affect resting forearm blood flow but potentiated the forearm blood flow response to stress and led to higher levels of flow during stress. No caffeine effects appeared in heart rate or in task performance. Family history of hypertension and Type A behavior were examined as potential modulating factors of caffeine effects but results were generally negative. These results suggest possible mechanisms through which caffeine could enhance the pathogenic effects of stress on the cardiovascular system.
