Expectations of Racism and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in African American Women
OBJECTIVE: Several researchers have argued that racism-related stressors play an important role in adverse cardiovascular outcomes among African American women. However, studies have primarily focused on experiences of racism; thus, the role of expectations of racism is insufficiently understood. The current proof-of-concept study was designed to examine associations among expectations of racism, self-reported experiences of racism, and carotid i…
Is Heart Rate Variability Related to Memory Performance in Middle-Aged Men
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…
Rationale and Design of a Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Stress Reduction Treatment to Usual Cardiac Care: The Reducing Vulnerability to Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Shock-Treated Ventr…
Objective: To present the design of a multicenter, randomized trial testing the effects of stress reduction treatment (SRT) on the prevalence of shock-treated ventricular arrhythmias among patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Significant adjustment problems secondary to ICD shock can increase the likelihood of arrhythmias requiring shock for termination. Whether SRT can reduce arrhythmias requiring shock for termination …
Noninvasive Detection of Risk for Emotion Provoked Myocardial Ischemia
Objectives: To test an easily administered, noninvasive technology to identify vulnerability to mental stress ischemia. Background: Myocardial ischemia provoked by emotional stress (MSI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) predicts major adverse cardiac events. A clinically useful tool to risk stratify patients on this factor is not available. Methods: Patients with documented CAD (n = 68) underwent single photon emission CT myo…
Depressive Symptoms and Heart Rate Variability: Evidence for a Shared Genetic Substrate in a Study of Twins
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the relationship between depression and heart rate variability (HRV) in a sample of twins. Reduced HRV, a measure of autonomic dysfunction, has been linked to depression but many studies have inadequately controlled for familial and environmental factors. Furthermore, little is known about whether depression and HRV share common genetic pathways. METHODS: We performed power spectral analysis on 24-hour ambulatory electrocard…
Psychological Traits and Emotion-Triggering of ICD Shock-Terminated Arrhythmias
OBJECTIVE: We have previously reported on the triggering of arrhythmia and hence, implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) shock by strong emotion. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether concordant psychological traits distinguish patients who experience emotion-triggered ICD shock. METHODS: Two hundred forty ICD patients completed the Speilberger Trait Anxiety and Anger Inventories and Anger Expression Scale, and the abridged…
