Psychological mood states were significantly associated with impedance-derived hemodynamics, including a negative correlation between tension-anxiety and log stroke volume (r = -0.319, p = 0.009).

OBJECTIVE: This exploratory study investigated the relation between psychological mood states and hemodynamic variables obtained at rest. METHODS: We measured resting hemodynamic variables using impedance cardiography, blood pressure, heart rate, and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) in 71 participants. RESULTS: Mood states were not significantly associated with heart rate, systolic, diastolic, or mean arterial pressure. In comparison with these basic measures of physiology, a number of impedance derived measures of hemodynamics were associated with mood states. Log stroke volume was negatively correlated with POMS tension-anxiety (r = -.319, p = .009) and fatigue-inertia (r = -. 316, p = .009). Log cardiac output was negatively associated with fatigue-inertia (r = -.346, p < .01). Log total peripheral vascular resistance was positively correlated with POMS fatigue-inertia (r = .276, p = .024). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that mood states are associated with hemodynamic variables underlying blood pressure.
Bum-Hee et al. (Thu,) reported a cross-sectional. Psychological mood states was evaluated on Relation between psychological mood states and hemodynamic variables (r = -0.319, p=0.009). Psychological mood states were significantly associated with impedance-derived hemodynamics, including a negative correlation between tension-anxiety and log stroke volume (r = -0.319, p = 0.009).
