Abstract

Compare physiological reactivity of vulnerable and nonvulnerable caregivers to experimental stressor probes. Administer both nonspecific and specific probes to assess cardiovascular reactivity. Compare vulnerable and nonvulnerable caregivers on measures of beta receptor sensitivity and density. Changes in cellular adhesion molecules that are related to platelet aggregation, with the risk of stroke, will also be measured.
