Cardiology
Psychophysiology
Gerontology

Background:

Stress impacts coronary care unit (CCU) patients.
Autonomic cardiovascular reactivity varies with age and gender.

Purpose of the Study:

To review music therapy's effect on CCU patient stress.
To examine age and gender influences on cardiovascular autonomic reactivity.

Main Methods:

Review of two studies.
Analysis of psychophysiologic stress markers.
