Post-traumatic stress in older, community-dwelling adults with hypertension during the Covid-19 pandemic
COVID-19 pandemic-related traumatic stress (PRTS) symptoms are reported in various populations, but risk factors in older adults with chronic medical conditions, remain understudied. We therefore examined correlates and pre-pandemic predictors of PRTS in older adults with hypertension during COVID-19. Participants in California, aged 61-92 years ( n = 95), participated in a pre-pandemic healthy aging trial and later completed a COVID-19 assessmen…
A longitudinal study of cannabis use and risk for cognitive and functional decline among older adults with HIV
Systemic Inflammation and Cognitive Decrements in Patients With Stage B Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the role of systemic inflammation in reduced cognitive functioning in patients with early-stage heart failure (HF) while determining associations with other cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: Patients with stage B HF (n = 270; mean [standard deviation] age = 66.1 [10.1] years) were examined cross-sectionally for relationships among cardiovascular disease (CVD) and psychological risk factors, C-reactiv…
Deep Dive into the Long Haul
Long COVID is a chronic condition characterized by symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, and cognitive impairment that persist or relapse months after an acute infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Many distinct symptoms have been attributed to Long COVID; however, little is known about the potential clustering of these symptoms and risk factors that may predispose patients to certain clusters. In this study, an electronic survey was sent to patients…
Are we facing a crashing wave of neuropsychiatric sequelae of Covid-19? Neuropsychiatric symptoms and potential immunologic mechanisms
Leukocyte ß-Adrenergic Receptor Sensitivity and Depression Severity in Patients With Heart Failure
OBJECTIVES: Clinical outcomes are worse for patients with heart failure (HF) and elevated depression symptoms. Depression-related sympathoimmune dysregulation may be one mechanism leading to poorer HF prognosis. Sympathetically mediated adrenergic activity is known to regulate immune activity via β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs). However, studies show conflicting relationships between leukocyte β-AR sensitivity and depression symptoms. The aim of t…
Combination of Caregiving Stress and Hormone Replacement Therapy is Associated With Prolonged Platelet Activation to Acute Stress Among Postmenopausal Women
Objective: To investigate the combined effects of caregiving and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on platelet hyperactivity to acute psychological stress. Both HRT and the chronic stress of caregiving have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk, potentially through a mechanism of platelet hyperactivity. Methods: A total of 78 elderly postmenopausal women (51 caregivers (CG) and 27 noncaregivers (NC)) were assessed for platelet activa…
Cardiac-related Hospitalization and/or Death Associated With Immune Dysregulation and Symptoms of Depression in Heart Failure Patients
OBJECTIVE: Congestive heart failure (CHF) patients with depressive symptoms have a greater risk of morbidity and mortality. Immune activity such as inflammation is increasingly implicated as underlying this relationship. However, it is unknown whether there is a broader spectrum of immune dysregulation beyond inflammatory activity. This study examined in CHF patients the relationship of depressive symptoms with cellular immune activity measured b…
Age and Ethnicity Differences in Short-Term Heart-Rate Variability
OBJECTIVE: Hypertension is more frequent and more severe in older individuals and in African Americans. Differences in autonomic nervous system activity might contribute to these differences. Autonomic effects on the heart can be studied noninvasively through analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). We examined the effects of age and ethnicity on HRV. METHODS: We studied 135 subjects (57 African Americans and 78 Caucasian Americans), aged 23 to …
The Association of Social Status and Blood Pressure With Markers of Vascular Inflammation
OBJECTIVE: Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with low-grade inflammation. Vascular inflammation often accompanies high blood pressure (BP) and has clinical implications for future vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis. Elevated plasma levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) are reliable indicators of vascular inflammation. We examined the associations among BP, social status, and sIC…
