Influence of chronic stress on the functional state of the cardiovascular system in rats
Abstract
Chronic stress significantly affects the functional state of the cardiovascular system and may lead to the development of pathological conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of prolonged stress exposure on cardiovascular parameters in rats. Experimental animals were subjected to chronic stress, after which physiological indicators of cardiovascular function were analyzed. The results demonstrated significant changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and vascular reactivity, indicating the involvement of adaptive and pathological mechanisms in the cardiovascular response to chronic stress.
