An Increase in Heart Rate Always Increases Blood Pressure

Question

An increase in heart rate always increases blood pressure.

Accepted Answer

While an increase in heart rate can lead to an increase in blood pressure under certain conditions, it is not always the case. Blood pressure is influenced by various factors including heart rate, blood volume, resistance of the blood vessels, and the condition of the cardiovascular system as a whole. Changes in these factors can lead to different outcomes on blood pressure despite changes in heart rate.
