Psychophysiological Reactivity and PTSD Symptom Severity among Young Women.
Year: 2016
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: < .01). Significant associations were not observed for heart rate or blood pressure. Results did not vary according to severity of symptoms within PTSD symptom cluster, with correlations for CO reactivity ranging from .40 to .49 and correlations for TPR reactivity ranging from -.40 to -.50 within symptom clusters. Dissociative symptoms were not significantly correlated with the CVR measures. Results partially supported the expectation that PTSD severity is one factor that would be associated with CVR, and suggest that reactivity for the underlying components of blood pressure (CO and TPR) provide additional information in probing stress reactivity in PTSD.
