Tensing the muscles invariably raises blood pressure, Lind says, and the rise may be dramatic if the muscles are strained to half their maximum tension. He points out that the size of the muscles involved is of little importance: a 30% contraction of the small forearm muscles in a hand grip will have the same effect...

He adds that the deleterious effects for those with some degree of heart failure are probably illustrated by the occasional patient who suffers an attack of angina pectoris that is dramatically precipitated by working with arms extended or elevated.
