Abstract
Affective temperaments (depressive, anxious, irritable, hyperthymic, and cyclothymic) are stable parts of personality and describe emotional reactivity to external stimuli. Their relation to psychopathological conditions is obvious, but less data are available on their relationship with cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate affective temperaments and hemodynamic and arterial stiffness parameters in healthy subjects (Cont), in white-coat hypertensive (WhHT) patients, and in non-resistant (non-ResHT) and resistant hypertensive (ResHT) patients. In this cross-sectional study, 363 patients were included: 82 Cont, 44 WhHT, 200 non-ResHT, and 37 ResHT. The patients completed the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A), and arterial stiffness was examined with tonometry (PulsePen). Significant differences were found between the Cont, WhHT, non-ResHT and ResHT groups in pulse wave velocity (7.76 ± 0.96, 8.13 ± 1.39, 8.98 ± 1.25, and 10.18 ± 1.18 m/s, respectively, p < 0.05 between Cont and non-ResHT/ResHT; p < 0.05 between non-ResHT and ResHT). Cyclothymic affective temperament points (4 (2.25-8)) were higher (p < 0.05) in the ResHT group than in the Cont (2 (0...Continue Reading
