To identify relationships among hypertension, job and cardiovascular reactivity we studied 81 borderline hypertensives divided into labourers (L), white collars (W) and managers (M). After behavioral analysis, they underwent 4 tests: arithmetic, Sacks, acoustic, electric. Along the entire sitting, muscular contraction, skin conductance (SCL), peripheric temperature (THP), SBP, DBP and HR were taken, every 30". Depression, obsessive-compulsive, anxiety and neurotic traits were found in W. SBP, DBP and HR were not significantly different. Failed recovery curves of SCL were identified in M and W, but the presence of abnormal response profile, of both, SCL and THP, only in W. This autonomic dysreactivity, previously recognized as a possible characteristic of the prehypertensive condition, could uncover the role of certain work stressful condition to increase the sympathetic drive underlying hypertension.
