Cold exposure, but not the mental test, elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure, whereas the mental test increased pulse rate and skin conductance level more markedly than cold exposure.
It has been reported that amlodipine tends to increase pulse rate via the reflex stimulation of sympathetic nervous system [ 45].
On admission the horse had increased pulse rate and brick coloured mucous membranes, which could be consistent with endotoxaemia.
This is perhaps not surprising, since bacterial infection causes fever, which in turn increases the pulse rate, so that increased temperature positively confounds (is at least part of the explanation for) the observed association between increased pulse rate and SBI.
Increased pulse rate is an important predictor of SBI, supporting National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommendations that pulse rate be routinely measured in the assessment of febrile children.
People carrying the mutant ALDH2 allele display characteristic acetaldehyde-mediated acute effects of alcohol drinking such as facial flushing and increased pulse rate [ 21].
A cross-sectional study of 176 community-based women [ 50] revealed that participation in vigorous activity (activity leading to sweating, shortness of breath, or an increased pulse rate) was associated with greater medial tibial cartilage volume.
Intravenous EDTA infusion was stopped when the cows showed clinical signs of circulatory colapse manifested by cold extremities, increased pulse rate to over 120 beats/min, generalized paresis and involuntarily recumbency.
Participation in exercise that causes tachypnea and an increased pulse rate for at least 20 min was associated with greater medial tibial cartilage volume in non-healthcare-seeking women at midlife [ 39].
The findings were clear: even when people stayed asleep, the noise of planes taking off and landing caused blood pressure spikes, increased pulse rates and set off vasoconstriction and the release of stress hormones.
