“…Montgomery and Jones () also found that the best predictor for high or low sensitivity to heartbeats in men is the fat content of the body. This is in line with studies showing that a higher state of fitness is advantageous for a higher cardiac sensitivity (Borg & Linderholm, ; Montgomery, Jones, & Hollandsworth, ). Furthermore, a close relationship between good heartbeat perception and the following cardiovascular parameters has been assumed: A lower heart rate and a higher impulse arising from an increased ejected blood volume during each heartbeat (Bestler, Schandry, Weitkunat, & Alt, ; Schandry & Bestler, ; Schandry, Bestler, & Montoya, ).…”

In adults, the level of ability to perceive one's own body signals plays an important role for many concepts of emotional experience as demonstrated for emotion processing or emotion regulation. Representative data on perception of body signals and its emotional correlates in children is lacking. Therefore, the present study investigated the cardiac sensitivity of 1,350 children between 6 and 11 years of age in a heartbeat perception task. Our main findings demonstrated the distribution of cardiac sensitivity in children as well as associations with interpersonal emotional intelligence and adaptability. Furthermore, independent of body mass index, boys showed a significantly higher cardiac sensitivity than girls. We conclude that cardiac sensitivity in children appears to show weaker but similar characteristics and relations to emotional parameters as found in adults, so that a dynamic developmental process can be assumed.

“…Cardiac interoception decreases with age ) and increasing body mass index (Rouse et al 1988;Kleckner et al 2015). It increases acutely during exercise (Jones & Hollandsworth, 1981;Montgomery et al 1984;Schandry et al 1993) and after caffeine ingestion (Zoellner & Craske, 1999). Sex differences have sometimes been reported (Jones & Hollandsworth, 1981;Katkin et al 1981), but there is debate whether these reflect true differences (Rouse et al 1988;Ring & Brener, 1992) and there is currently no clear consensus on this question.…”

The autonomic nervous system regulates all aspects of normal cardiac function, and is recognized to play a critical role in the pathophysiology of many cardiovascular diseases. As such, the value of neuroscience-based cardiovascular therapeutics is increasingly evident. This White Paper reviews the current state of understanding of human cardiac neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, pathophysiology in specific disease conditions, autonomic testing, risk stratification, and neuromodulatory strategies to mitigate the progression of cardiovascular diseases.

“…There are reports on associations between performance in the mental heartbeat-tracking task and participant's gender (Ludwick-Rosenthal and Neufeld 1985) and body mass index (BMI, Montgomery et al 1984;Jones et al 1987), as well as between educational level and IGT performance (Davis et al 2008). We assessed gender and educational level as control variables via self-report questionnaires.…”

Enhanced cardiac perception predicts impaired performance in the Iowa Gambling Task in patients with panic disorder

et al. 2014

ObjectiveSomatic marker theory predicts that somatic cues serve intuitive decision making; however, cardiovascular symptoms are threat cues for patients with panic disorder (PD). Therefore, enhanced cardiac perception may aid intuitive decision making only in healthy individuals, but impair intuitive decision making in PD patients.MethodsPD patients and age-and sex-matched volunteers without a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 17, respectively) completed the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) as a measure of intuitive decision making. Interindividual differences in cardiac perception were assessed with a common mental-tracking task.ResultsIn line with our hypothesis, we found a pattern of opposing associations (Fisher's Z = 1.78, P = 0.04) of high cardiac perception with improved IGT-performance in matched control-participants (r = 0.36, n = 14) but impaired IGT-performance in PD patients (r = −0.38, n = 13).ConclusionInteroceptive skills, typically assumed to aid intuitive decision making, can have the opposite effect in PD patients who experience interoceptive cues as threatening, and tend to avoid them. This may explain why PD patients frequently have problems with decision making in everyday life. Screening of cardiac perception may help identifying patients who benefit from specifically tailored interventions.
