  • Repolarization Changes Induced by Mental Stress in Normal Subjects and Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

    Peter Taggart, Velislav N Batchvarov et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2009

    OBJECTIVES: Mental stress can significantly affect ventricular repolarization, which could potentially trigger arrhythmias. We compared the effect of mental stress on repolarization indexed by the amplitude and area of the T wave in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and healthy subjects. METHODS: Fourteen healthy controls (11 M, mean age 42 years) and 14 patients with stable CAD (12 M, mean age 64) underwent a mental stress protocol con…

  • The Effect of Mental Stress on the Non-Dipolar Components of the T Wave

    Peter Taggart, Peter Sutton et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2005

    OBJECTIVE: Mental or emotional stress-induced ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death are thought to be mediated by the autonomic nervous system and ischemia. In the absence of ischemia, increased inhomogeneity of repolarization is thought to be important. We tested the hypotheses that in the absence of ischemia, mental stress may modulate repolarization by changing autonomic balance; and mental relaxation induced by hypnosis may offset …
