How Music Affects A Person's Cardiovascular System
A new study shows that listening to loud music also causes our hearts to beat faster and our blood pressure to rise as well whereas, listening to slower, softer music actually lowers blood pressure and decreases our heart rates.
Italian researchers at Pavia University seem to enjoy conducting researching on how music affects human beings. One the first studies that the concluded was on how music with quicker tempos effected a person’s breathing may causing them to breath faster, with an increase in their heart rate and blood pressure, whilst music that had a slower tempo produced the opposite effect.
Their latest findings prove how music affects a person’s cardiovascular system. In a statement by Dr. Luciano Bernardi, a professor of internal medicine at Pavia …show more content…
As a clinician, one who works with people with cardiovascular disease, I ask, can we extrapolate or generalize to clinical populations? I see some potentially very exciting research and clinical applications to people with disabilities, where modest changes could have very significant salutatory effects. If they listen to music through headphones while they exercise, can we get better changes on such measures as oxygen flow and blood pressure?”
It is good to note, however, that those people, with whom Franklin works with, actually conduct their exercise routine on treadmills or stationary bicycles and without any music at all. “I might implement a small pilot program on these subjects, not at rest but while they exercise. Are their responses altered by simultaneous music? These are debilitated coronary patients in whom small changes might be important,” he said.
The spokesman for the American Music Therapy Association, Al Bumanis, said that the effects of music therapy is currently being tested on people who are presently in cardiovascular rehabilitation, or have suffered a brain injury of some sort, as well as premature babies among others as
