“…From an evolutionary viewpoint, this adaptation ‘blood pressure’ mechanism may help alleviate a recovery of physical functioning after impairments. Difference in effect size with respect to blood pressure measures obtained in office and laboratory may be explained by either the moderation effect of arousal variations between different settings [23,40,49,50] or worse accuracy of non-invasive beat-to-beat monitors in measuring absolute levels of blood pressure [51]. …”

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 to 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.

“…Moreover, the distribution of lowand high-scorers on the different factors of alexithymia should be different across genders demonstrating generally different attention of men and women to affective challenges (Lysenko & Davydov, 2011a, 2011b, 2012a, 2012bMattila, Salminen, Nummi, & Joukamaa, 2006), and may be different across specific clinical groups due to different central mechanisms of disorder development in these clinical groups (Mattila, Salminen, Nummi, & Joukamaa, 2006). For example, the alexithymia factor of externally-oriented thinking (EOT) should not be much present in depressed patients with perseverative rumination as a main central mechanism of the disorder development (Davydov, Stewart, Ritchie, & Chaudieu, 2012;Papageorgiou & Wells, 2004;Robinson & Alloy, 2003). However, it should be more frequently found in persons with the 'psychopathic personality', who may utilize this mechanism to detach their mind/behavior from external events and to demonstrate shallow (limited) emotions in high arousal surroundings (Lander, Lutz-Zois, Rye, & Goodnight, 2012).…”

“…The differences experience of discomfort. A previous study showed that the association between low blood pressure and depressed mood was significant when moderated with situational stress in persons (Davydov, Stewart, Ritchie, & Chaudieu, 2012). Contrary to other studies (Oberleiter, 1986;Wittmann, 1989), which demonstrated that low blood pressure was associated with depressive symptoms, we found a significant relationship between blood pressure and health behaviour (i.e., physical exercise, social well-being, satisfaction with own physical exercise, regularity of sleep, and current well-being).…”

health psychology report · volume 4(2), 6 original article background Relationships between psychological features and psychophysical parameters, such as blood pressure, have a high relevance in research on coping with stress. We want to investigate the correlation between blood pressure and these psychological features. participants and procedureWe investigated 79 teachers from high schools and secondary schools in and around Leipzig, Germany. Using the systolic blood pressure as an indicator, we formed three groups: hypotensive, normotensive, and hypertensive. We assessed several psychological health dependent variables and looked for differences between these groups (χ 2 test). resultsHypotensive subjects experienced more stress and less planning and goal behaviour. Furthermore, they more often used physical exercises in order to increase their social well-being. Hypertensive subjects, on the other hand, were driven by fear of loss of control and showed a higher sense of feeling threatened. conclusionsWe found for each group different relationships that are highly relevant to health. This result shows how psychological features and physiological regulation mechanisms are linked.
