Abstract

Objective This study was conducted to present evidence of differences in autonomic regulation of cardiovascular activity and its role in the severity of specific (disease-related) and non-specific (negative affect and chronic pain-related) symptoms in individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).Methods Seventy-eight female patients with IBS and 27 healthy women age 18-62 years were assessed for IBS symptoms, negative affect, and baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS), blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV) at rest. Direct and indirect regression effects were examined with application of the bootstrap procedure to validate findings.Results IBS was reliably related to lower resting BRS, higher BP, and higher negative affect compared to healthy controls. Longer disease duration (chronicity) was related to BRS decrease coupled with systolic BP increase (95% CIs=-0.14 to -0.01). Three autonomic mechanisms associated with BRS decrease were found to further regulate severity of IBS symptoms. Lower BRS was related to higher IBS severity in general if the effect was transferred through the decrease of low frequency power of HRV (e.g., 95% CIs=-0.039 to -0.001 for abdominal pain severity). However, lower BRS was related to lower IBS severity in general if the effect was transferred through diastolic BP increase (95% CIs=0.01-0.11 for abdominal pain severity). Lower BRS was related to higher abdominal pain severity coupled with high negative affect if the effect was transferred through the decrease of higher frequency power of HRV (95% CIs=-0.026 to -0.003).Conclusions These findings indicate that different cardiovascular mechanisms are associated with IBS development and the increase and decrease of severity of IBS symptoms. Their assessment suggests ways to personalize treatment of IBS.

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.
