  • Hemodynamic Reactivity to Mental Stress and Cognitive Function in Coronary Artery Disease

    Kasra Moazzami, Ambar Kulshreshtha et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2024

    OBJECTIVE: People with coronary artery disease (CAD) are at higher risk of cognitive impairment than those without CAD. Psychological stress is a risk factor for both conditions, and assessing the hemodynamic reactivity to mental stress could explain the link between stress and cognitive function. METHODS: A total of 779 individuals with stable CAD from two prospective cohort studies were included. All individuals underwent acute mental stress te…

Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) was assessed…

  • Advancing the Mission of an Inclusive Curriculum at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine Through the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Curriculum Project

    Derrick B Lewis, Ewoma Ogbaudu et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022

    In 2017–2018, several medical students at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine (MCASOM) conducted an audit of the Minnesota campus second-year curriculum and discovered that lecture materials had disproportionately higher representations of lighter skin hues, masculine bodies, and slim body types. Given these preliminary results, our team of students, faculty, and administrators expanded the scope of this initiative to evaluate the preclerkshi…

  • Child Maltreatment and Inflammatory Response to Mental Stress Among Adults Who Have Survived a Myocardial Infarction

    Shakira F Suglia, Shakia T Hardy et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: Experiences of child maltreatment are associated with cardiovascular risk and disease in adulthood; however, the mechanisms underlying these associations are poorly understood. METHODS: We examined associations between retrospectively self-reported exposure to child maltreatment (Early Trauma Inventory Self-Report Short Form) and inflammatory responses to mental stress among adults (mean age = 50 years) who recently had a myocardial in…

  • Stress Measurement in Primary Care

    Lawson R Wulsin, Sara J Sagui‐Henson et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: Exposure to stressors in daily life and dysregulated stress responses are associated with increased risk for a variety of chronic mental and physical health problems, including anxiety disorders, depression, asthma, heart disease, certain cancers, and autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders. Despite this fact, stress exposure and responses are rarely assessed in the primary care setting and infrequently targeted for disease preventi…

  • Everyday Discrimination and Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia

    Izraelle I Mckinnon, Amit Shah et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI), a transient myocardial ischemic response to mental stress, is associated with poorer outcomes among patients with coronary heart disease and is more likely to occur among women. However, predictors of MSIMI are not well explored. The current study investigated the association between experiences of everyday discrimination and MSIMI among patients with recent myocardial ischemia and con…

  • Noninvasive Cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation Alters Brain Activity During Traumatic Stress in Individuals With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

    Matthew T Wittbrodt, Nil Z Gurel et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disabling condition affecting a large segment of the population; however, current treatment options have limitations. New interventions that target the neurobiological alterations underlying symptoms of PTSD could be highly beneficial. Transcutaneous cervical (neck) vagal nerve stimulation (tcVNS) has the potential to represent such an intervention. The goal of this study was to determine the e…

  • Neural Correlates of Stress and Abdominal Obesity in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

    Kasra Moazzami, Matthew T Wittbrodt et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2020

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between waist circumference as a measure of abdominal obesity and brain responses to stress among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: Patients with CAD (N = 151) underwent acute mental stress tasks in conjunction with high-resolution positron emission tomography and radiolabeled water imaging of the brain. Brain responses to mental stress were correlated with waist circ…

  • Academic, Family, and Peer Influence on Entrepreneurial Intention of Engineering Students

    Open AccessAnasuya K Lingappa, Amit Shah et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2020Cited by: 2References: 61

    The purpose of this article is to contribute to the research literature on entrepreneurial intention (EI) of engineering students in an emerging economy. Through the lens of Ajzen's theory of planned behavior (TPB), we investigate the influence of academic curriculum, institutional support, family, and peer effects in fostering an intent to be self-employed among Indian engineering students. Data collected from 210 final-year engineering students…

  • The Relation of Psychosocial Distress With Myocardial Perfusion and Stress-Induced Myocardial Ischemia

    Pratik Pimple, Muhammad Hammadah et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia is a frequent phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The link between an integrated measure of chronic psychosocial distress and mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia, and whether it differs by sex, has not been examined before. METHODS: We used latent class analysis to derive a composite measure of psychosocial distress integrating scales of depression, posttraumatic st…

  • Sex-Specific Association Between Coronary Artery Disease Severity and Myocardial Ischemia Induced by Mental Stress

    Zakaria Almuwaqqat, Samaah Sullivan et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: It is unclear whether mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is related to obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). We examined this question and contrasted results with ischemia induced by conventional stress testing (CSIMI). Because women are more susceptible to ischemia without coronary obstruction than men, we examined sex differences. METHODS: We studied 276 patients 61 years and younger with recent myocardial infarct…

  • Longitudinal associations between self-reported experiences of discrimination and depressive symptoms in young women and men post- myocardial infarction

    Open AccessRyan Saelee, Viola Vaccarino et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychosomatic Research2019Cited by: 1References: 26

  • Brain Correlates of Mental Stress-Induced Myocardial Ischemia

    J Douglas Bremner, Carolina Campanella et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2018

    OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and despite important advances in our understanding of this disorder, the underlying mechanisms remain under investigation. Recently, increased attention has been placed on the role of behavioral factors such as emotional stress on CAD risk. Brain areas involved in memory and the stress response, including medial prefrontal cortex, insula, and parietal cortex, a…

    Open AccessJ Douglas Bremner, Sanskriti Mishra et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2017

    This study shows that MBSR is a safe and effective treatment for PTSD. Furthermore, MBSR treatment is associated with changes in brain regions that have been implicated in PTSD and are involved in extinction of fear responses to traumatic memories as well as regulation of the stress response

  • Sex Differences in Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia in Young Survivors of an Acute Myocardial Infarction

    Viola Vaccarino, Amit Shah et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2014

    OBJECTIVES: Emotional stress may disproportionally affect young women with ischemic heart disease. We sought to examine whether mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI), but not exercise-induced ischemia, is more common in young women with previous myocardial infarction (MI) than in men. METHODS: We studied 98 post-MI patients (49 women and 49 men) aged 38 to 60 years. Women and men were matched for age, MI type, and months since MI. Pat…

  • Is Heart Rate Variability Related to Memory Performance in Middle-Aged Men

    Amit Shah, Amit Jasvant Shah et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2011

    OBJECTIVE: Heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of autonomic function, has been associated with cognitive function, but studies are conflicting. Previous studies have also not controlled for familial and genetic influences. METHODS: We performed power spectral analysis on 24-hour ambulatory ECGs in 416 middle-aged male twins from the Vietnam Era Twin Registry. Memory and learning were measured by verbal and visual Selective Reminding Tests (SR…
