Impact of psychological distress on cardiovagal reactivation after a speech task
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is more prevalent in individuals with Type-D personality(distressed) who tend to avoid confrontation in social situations (social inhibition) and have a greater tendency to experience negative emotions (negative affectivity). Although psychological distress is associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and impaired heart rate (HR) modulation, studies examining cardiac autonomic modulation in distressed individuals through heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex functioning during, and more importantly, after stress are scarce. Accordingly, we investigated blood pressure (BP), baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and HRV responses before, during and after an interpersonal speech task (ST) in individuals with high distress scores (HD) and low distress scores (LD).

In an experimental study of 50 healthy individuals, highly distressed participants showed differences in baroreflex sensitivity and other markers suggesting impaired cardiovagal reactivation after an acute stress task.
“An experimental study comparing cardiovascular recovery after an acute stress task in 50 healthy individuals with high versus low distress found that highly distressed participants demonstrated differences in baroreflex sensitivity and other markers suggesting impaired cardiovagal reactivation. 108”

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.
