Some of the Effects on the Circulatory System
Almost all video games cause the heart to beat faster, which results in a higher heart rate. See more in-depth information on the effects on the heart rate at the bottom.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure actually drops somewhat when playing video games, which is a strange effect given the increased heart rate.
Conclusion
There is only so much that can be written from limited research into this area. In general, video games cause heart rate to go up and blood pressure to go down somewhat. As more research is conducted into the effects of video games on the circulatory system I will add more information to this article.
