Abstract

Emotional stress has been considered an important asthma trigger for years, though the mechanisms by which stress may exacerbate asthma remain poorly understood. The stress-asthma morbidity association could occur through cognitive-behavioral pathways, such as decreased asthma self-efficacy and disorganized self-care, or through the more direct physiological effects of stress on autonomic (parasympathetic) nervous system activity. No study has examined how these two mechanisms may interact to contribute to greater airflow obstruction during emotional stress in daily life. This study investigated associations between peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and high frequency heart rate variability (HFHRV) during periods of negative affect and physical activity in daily life in patients with higher versus lower asthma self-efficacy scores. Fifty-three patients with mild to moderate asthma completed the Asthma Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) and underwent a 15 h ambulatory assessment of daytime HFHRV and PEFR, while completing self-report diaries of their physical activities and affect. In patients with lower asthma self-efficacy scores, increased levels of negative affect during daily life were associated with higher levels of HFHRV and decr...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
