Recent advances have enabled noninvasive mapping of cardiac arrhythmias with electrocardiographic imaging and delivery precise ablative radiation stereotactic body therapy (SBRT). We combined these techniques to perform catheter-free, electrophysiology-guided, radioablation for ventricular tachycardia.We targeted arrhythmogenic scar regions by combining anatomical during tachycardia that was induced means an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). SBRT simulation, planning, treatments...
The Cook and Medley (1954) Hostility (Ho) scale, a measure of hostility derived from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), was recently found in one cross-sectional study to be related severity coronary artery disease two prospective studies predict development heart disease. Unfortunately, little information is available clarify meaning known about psychosocial characteristics individuals with high Ho scores. As result, interpretation previous difficult. Our attempted...
Case studies have suggested the efficacy of catheter-free, electrophysiology-guided noninvasive cardiac radioablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) using stereotactic body radiation therapy, although prospective data are lacking.We conducted a phase I/II trial in adults with treatment-refractory episodes VT or cardiomyopathy related to premature contractions (PVCs). Arrhythmogenic scar regions were targeted by combining anatomic and electric imaging standard therapy workflow followed...
Found in two studies that the Life Orientation Test (LOT) had limited discriminant validity relative to measures of neuroticism. Furthermore, although previous correlations LOT with symptom reports and coping behaviors were replicated, these eliminated when neuroticism was controlled. In contrast, symptoms remained significant scores Thus, is virtually indistinguishable from neuroticism, previously reported findings using this scale are perhaps more parsimoniously interpreted as reflecting...
Research on the association between personality characteristics and subsequent physical health has produced several consistent findings identified other tentative relationships. Chronic anger/hostility neuroticism/negative affectivity are best established risk factors for poor health. Optimism, social dominance, traits also appear to influence risk. Several mechanisms have been as possibly underlying these effects, but few evaluated definitively. Future research may be well served by...
Hardy persons are hypothesized to be resistant stress-induced illness, because of their adaptive cognitive style and a subsequently reduced level physiological arousal. We assessed the responses high low hardy male undergraduates challenging task under evaluative threat. As predicted, subjects endorsed more positive self-statements than did in threat condition. High also reported fewer negative overall, but this was attributable overlap measures hardiness neuroticism. displayed marginally...
Maintenance of relationship quality requires self-regulation emotion and social behavior, women often display greater effort in this regard than do men. Furthermore, such efforts can deplete the limited capacity for self-regulation. In recent models self-regulation, resting level respiratory sinus arrhythmia, quantified as high-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV), is an indicator self-regulatory capacity, whereas transient increases HF-HRV reflect effort. To test these hypotheses...
Previous research has indicated that high scores on the Cook and Medley Hostility (Ho) scale are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease other illness. Our study attempts to clarify this relationship by providing additional evidence concerning construct assessed Ho scale, examining level physiological reactivity during interpersonal conflict in high- low-Ho groups, assessing psychosocial profile characteristic. Extremely low groups were selected from a pool male...
The present study investigated the hypothesis that psychological symptoms may serve a self-protective function by providing an alternative explanation for potential failure in evaluating situations. It was hypothesized highly test-anxious subjects would report anxiety pattern reflected strategic presentation of symptoms; more specifically, it predicted greater reported should result when viable poor performance on intelligence test and lower not performance. Analysis state measures...
