In a study out of Oxford University, Dr. P. Sleight and his investigators found that listening to music initially effects change of heart rate that is directly proportional to the tempo of the music and possibly to the complexity of the rhythm.

They also found that the style of the music or the music preference of a subject appears less important than the tempo of the music, and that music with a slower rhythm and some short pauses or breaks in the music induces calm in the listener.

Effect of Music on Heart RateObviously, music that has a faster tempo and louder will generally make a person's heart rate and blood pressure spike, probably because it releases adrenaline, similar to a stressful situation. Another ...This is according to Medscape Medical News

The researchers found that compared with baseline, the subjects' mean flow-mediated dilation:

  • Decreased 6% after listening to enjoyable music (P = .0002).
  • Increased 26% after listening to anxiety-provoking music (P = .005).
  • Increased 19% after watching a humorous video (P = .08).
  • Decreased 11% after listening to a relaxation tape (NS).

In your Heart, there is a sensor that receives pulses that dictate how fast the heart beats. Heavy and loud music, especially with a strong beat, can interfere with that sensor, causing the heart to beat in time to the music.

Here is more from Wiki s contributors:

  • I am doing a science fair project on this topic. My project actually includes the effect of music on the heart rate and blood pressure of a person. I have done some research and it really depends on what kind of music it is. For example, Heavy Metal and Rap REALLY gets the heart rate and blood pressure going, while Classical Music lowers it.
  • I am also doing a science fair project and I found that Rock Music really gets the heart rate going and the classical music takes the heart rate down by a lot.

I put together a few years back, you will find answers as well as studies. Check the related link below. p.s this site is full of it ! they say nothing true!
