Abstract:
Our study employed an innovative technique involving replaying scripts from previous traumas in veterans with and without post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to study the potential relationship of trauma‐induced stress and cardiac pathophysiology. This is the first investigation to examine the association of PTSD and impedance cardiogram‐based contractility metrics during a trauma recall. We found robust relationships between PTSD and worsened cardiac contractility, as well as increased sympathetic activation, particularly during trauma reminders.
