Extract

That variations of blood-pressure are found in states of emotion is commonplace knowledge; that rises may take place with temporary fear and anxiety is also well known, but that anxiety occurs with a reduced or normal blood-pressure is not perhaps so well appreciated.

The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether the blood-pressure remains high when the patient with anxiety is in a state of overt placidity and calmness.
