Caffeine is considered the most widely used pharmacologic substance in the United States, yet little research has been done on its cardiovascular effects at rest and during psychological and exercise stress. The present proposal describes studies designed to examine how caffeine (3.5 mg/kg, equal to 2-3 cup of coffee) affects cardiovascular function in men at low risk of developing hypertension and those showing early-to-mild hypertension (EH, defined as resting blood pressures of 140-160/90-95). Our research has shown that this dose of caffeine elevates blood pressure at rest by increasing the state for constriction of the peripheral blood vessels. We have also shown that during work on a demanding psychomotor task (unsignalled, simple reaction time with monetary bonuses), caffeine synergistically enhances heart rate, cardiac output, myocardial contractility, and indices of cardiac work. In normotensive men at high risk of developing essential hypertension, caffeine pressor effect in additive with the already elevated blood pressure. As a result, during psychological and aerobic exercise stress, this high risk group shows enhanced levels of blood pressure. At some point during aerobic exercise, 55% of the high risk subjects showed pressures in excess of 230/100 mmHg, considered to be abnormally high during exercise. The proposed studies will extend our work from men at risk to those showing true EH. Study I concerns caffeine's effects on responses to repeated psychomotor challenges separated by brief rests insufficiently long to allow recovery of baseline to occur. Study II tests caffeine's effects on continuous psychomotor and mental challenge with no rests. Study III examines caffeine's potential for producing excessive (greater than or equal to 230/100 mmHg blood pressure responses during graded aerobic bicycle exercise up through maximum exercise. Our use of impedance and nuclear imaging techniques for determining stroke volume and cardiac output permits an extensive characterization of the hemodynamic responses occurring during states of stress under caffeine. This research is of practical significance in providing useful information on caffeine's risk potential in hypertensive men.

咖啡因被认为是最广泛使用的药物 在美国，几乎没有研究 在休息时和心理和 运动应激 本提案介绍了旨在 研究咖啡因（3.5毫克/公斤，相当于2-3杯咖啡） 影响低风险男性的心血管功能 高血压和那些显示早期至轻度高血压（EH， 定义为静息血压140-160/90-95）。 我们 研究表明，这一剂量的咖啡因可以提高血液 通过增加收缩状态， 外周血管 我们还表明，在工作期间， 一项要求很高的心理任务（无信号，简单的反应时间 与金钱奖金），咖啡因协同提高心脏 心率、心输出量、心肌收缩力和 心脏工作。 在血压正常的男性中， 原发性高血压，咖啡因升压作用 已经升高的血压 因此，在 心理和有氧运动压力，这个高危人群 显示血压升高 的某个时候 有氧运动时，55%的高危人群出现压力 超过230/100 mmHg，被认为异常高 在锻炼期间。 拟议中的研究将把我们的工作从高危男性扩展到 显示真实的EH。 研究一关注咖啡因对 对重复的心理挑战的反应， 休息时间不足以恢复基线。 研究II测试了咖啡因对持续性精神障碍的影响， 精神上的挑战，没有休息。 研究三检测了咖啡因 产生过量（大于或等于 分级有氧运动期间的230/100 mmHg血压反应 自行车运动通过最大限度的锻炼。 我们使用阻抗和核成像技术， 确定每搏输出量和心输出量允许 血流动力学反应的广泛表征 在咖啡因的压力下发生。 本研究是 提供有用的信息， 咖啡因对高血压男性的潜在风险
