Biofeedback-Assisted Cardiovascular Control in Hypertensives Exposed to Emotional Stress
The study was aimed at examining the effect of a short Heart Rate-Biofeedback(HR-BF) protocol on systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure levels and BP emotional reactivity. Twenty-four unmedicated outpatients with pre- and stage 1 hypertension, were randomly assigned to active treatment (BF-Training) or control (BP-Monitoring) group. Subjects in BF-Training Group underwent four BF sessions. Guided imagery of stressful events was introduced during sessions 3 and 4. Control participants self-monitored their BP at home for 4 weeks. Subjects in both groups performed an emotional Speech Test before and after the training (or monitoring) period. SBP and mean arterial pressure responses to the emotional Speech Test were significantly smaller after the BF-training than the BP-monitoring. Moreover, clinic SBP and DBP were significantly reduced by about 10 mmHg in BF-Training Group, whereas they remained unchanged in control group. Self-monitored BP decreased significantly in the active treatment group and not in control group. A short BF-training, including guided imagery of stressful events, was effective in reducing BP reactions to a psychosocial stressor. BP measured in the clinic, and self-monitored at home were also significantly reduced in the BF-Training Group. HR-BF appears to be a suitable intervention for hypertensive patients, mostly when BP increase is associated with emotional activation.

A bodybuilder knows that the by providing themselves with the right nutrition and rest while participating in the correct weight lifting regimen that they will most likely achieve the results for which...
When a person considers whether maintaining health is a science or art, they normally consider the cultural or prevailing wisdom of the dominant medical institutions. Those institutions, which have legal sanction in our present society, include practitioners who primarily think of themselves as scientists. This is because they have received training that is flavored by scientific tradition. What most people do not realize is that medicine comes in a number of variations. Many of them have roots that precede the establishment of Western scientific thinking. On the other hand, despite the fact...
I have often heard that the key to life is balance. Yes, we spend a lot of time seeking out opportunities and challenges designed to stimulate our minds. Indeed, there are plenty of opportunities for entertainment. The Internet, the seemingly unlimited array of channels that are available through our cable or satellite provider, and even our multimedia cell phones provide an endless supply of thrills and fantasies. Yet, what happens when we fail to balance this adequately with relaxation.
It seems that whether real or inspired by the media the challenges of life motivate us. If...
