Abstract

Slow cardiovascular (CV) recovery after stress is a predictor of adverse CV outcomes. Perseverative cognition (PC) about stress has been hypothesized to co-determine slow recovery. In the present study, it was investigated whether two types of trait PC, i.e. trait worry and trait rumination, predicted delayed cardiac recovery after a cognitive stressor. Furthermore, it was examined whether explicit state PC (i.e. negative intrusive thoughts) or implicit state PC (i.e. automatic vigilance) additionally predicted delayed cardiac recovery. Fifty-nine participants performed a stressful task, which consisted of an unsolvable synonym task. After a 6-minute recovery period, participants reported on their level of negative intrusive thoughts (i.e. explicit state PC), and performed a lexical decision task (LDT) to measure automatic vigilance for task-related information (i.e. implicit state PC). Cardiac activity was continuously measured using heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV). Trait worry and rumination were measured by the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) and the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), respectively. The results showed that high trait worriers had a slower HR recovery from the cognitive stressor compared to low trait worriers. They also showed delayed HRV recovery, but only when the tendency to dwell upon one's negative mood (the 'brooding' subscale of the RRS) was low. Slow HR recovery was associated with high levels of negative intrusive thoughts and with automatic vigilance, but in the unexpected direction for the latter. These results provide evidence that delayed cardiac recovery is associated with trait as well as state PC, and suggest that brooding attenuates the HRV suppressing effect of high trait worry.

  • Post stressor rumination appears to be a particularly important stress process that may prolong cortisol activation during stress recovery, altering allostatic states.

    “Post stressor rumination appears to be a particularly important stress process that may prolong cortisol activation during stress recovery, altering allostatic states (Gianferante et al., 2014; Ottaviani et al., 2016; Verkuil et al., 2009).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
