这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 这项研究的目的是探讨将PTSD与心血管调节联系起来的候选机制，特别是夜间血压调节的作用，沿着创伤暴露和夜间血压关系的假设修饰符，包括特质愤怒和暴露于偏见和歧视的作用。在研究的后续阶段，我们还将评估肾上腺素能受体的遗传多态性的关系。 健康的志愿者和报告经历过创伤性事件并目前认可经历PTSD症状的人将被招募参加研究。在最初的评估中，所有参与者将完成自我报告措施，评估创伤暴露和创伤后应激障碍相关症状，抑郁，歧视和偏见的经历，愤怒管理，负面事件的敏感性，取悦他人的取向，饮食中的盐摄入量，以及个人和病史。在初步评估后，符合标准的同意参与者将完成临床审查，以进一步评估PTSD症状的强度和严重程度，体检和尿液毒理学筛查，夜间睡眠记录，血压和活动水平监测，以及在研究的后续阶段，抽血。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The proposed study aims investigate candidate mechanisms for linking PTSD to cardiovascular regulation and, in particular, the role of nocturnal blood pressure regulation along with hypothesized modifiers of the relationship of trauma exposure and nocturnal blood pressure including the role of trait anger and exposure to prejudice and discrimination. In a subsequent phase of the research we will also evaluate relationships to genetic polymorphisms of adrenergic receptors. Healthy volunteers and people who report having experinced a traumatic event and current endorse experiencing PTSD symptoms will be recruited to participate in the study. During their initial evaluation, all participants will complete self-report measures which assess for trauma exposure and PTSD related symptoms, depression, experiences of discrimination and prejudice, anger management, sensitivity of negative events, orientation towards pleasing others, dietary salt intake, and personal and medical history. Following initial assessment, consenting participants who meet criteria will complete a clinical review to further assess for intensity and severity of PTSD symptoms, physical exam and urine toxicology screen, overnight sleep recording, monitoring of blood pressure and activity level, and , in a subsequent phase of the research, a blood draws.
