本研究检测了两组男性退伍军人的24小时动态心率（HR）和血压（BP）水平：19名患有慢性创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）， 17名从未达到PTSD标准。检查了诊断状态、基础心血管活动和心血管应激反应之间的关系。分层线性模型分析显示，PTSD组的静息HR高于非PTSD组。此外，创伤后应激障碍组在情感痛苦时比非创伤后应激障碍组表现出更大的血压反应。讨论了这些发现对医疗保健的影响，以及未来研究的方向。
This study examined 24-hr levels of ambulatory heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in 2 groups of male veterans: 19 with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 17 who never met criteria for PTSD. The relationships between diagnostic status, basal cardiovascular activity, and cardiovascular reactivity to stress were examined. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses revealed that the PTSD group had higher resting HR than the non-PTSD group. Moreover, the PTSD group showed greater BP reactivity during times of affective distress than the non-PTSD group. The health care implications of these findings are discussed, as are directions for future research.
