Evaluation of Event-Related Potentials in Somatic Diseases - Systematic Review
Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback. 2024 Apr 2. doi: 10.1007/s10484-024-09642-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany somatic illnesses (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary and cardiac diseases, hepatitis C, kidney and heart failure, HIV infection, Sjogren's disease) may impact central nervous system functions resulting in emotional, sensory, cognitive or even personality impairments. Event-related potential (ERP) methodology allows for monitoring neurocognitive processes and thus can provide a valuable window into these cognitive processes that are influenced, or brought about, by somatic disorders. The current review aims t...

Mediating Effect of Heart Rate Variability on the Relationship Between Anxiety Symptoms and Blood Pressure in Patients with Primary Hypertension
Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback. 2024 Apr 1. doi: 10.1007/s10484-024-09641-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with hypertension (HTN) are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, which can be reduced with blood pressure (BP) control. Anxiety can contribute to high BP and low heart rate variability (HRV). Although relationships between social support, self-rated health-status (SRHS), anxiety and measures of HRV and BP have been suggested, they have not been clearly established. This cross-sectional correlational study aimed to 1) examine relationships between social support, SRHS, and anxiety; and 2) ex...

Do Longer Exhalations Increase HRV During Slow-Paced Breathing?
Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback. 2024 Mar 20. doi: 10.1007/s10484-024-09637-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSlow-paced breathing at an individual's resonance frequency (RF) is a common element of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training (Laborde et al. in Psychophysiology 59:e13952, 2022). Although there is strong empirical support for teaching clients to slow their respiration rate (RR) to the adult RF range between 4.5 and 6.5 bpm (Lehrer & Gevirtz, 2014), there have been no definitive findings regarding the best inhalation-to-exhalation (IE) ratio to increase HRV when breathing within this range. Three meth...
