a high cardiac output and high peripheral resistance
Explanation:
Two factors affect the strength of the blood and consequently the blood pressure: cardiac output and peripheral resistance.
Blood pressure is determined by the product of cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. In normal individuals there is a spectrum of variation in cardiac output with concomitant peripheral resistance responses for a given blood pressure level. However, increased heart rate results in increased cardiac output, which increases blood pressure, leading to hypertension.
