Matthews & Sarah E. Brockwell & Kim Sutton-Tyrrell Published online: 21 March 2009 International Society of Behavioral Medicine 2009 Abstract for women, smaller FMD was associated with higher Anger Background Trait negative affect has been implicated as a In for women (β=−0.222, p=0.04) and showed a trend with risk marker for cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms higher Hostility for men (β=−0.082, p=0.09). underlying this association are uncertain. Conclusion Endothelial dysfunction, as indicated by less Purpose Our aim was to examine associations between trait vasodilatation of the brachial artery, is positively associated measures of anger, hostility, depression, and anxiety with with measures of hostility and anger suppression in healthy endothelial dysfunction via brachial artery flow-mediated older adults. Thus, associations between negative affect and dilation (FMD), an early indicator of cardiovascular cardiovascular health may be apparent early in the disease disease. process. Method FMD was examined in 332 healthy older adults. Measures included Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories, Keywords Flow-mediated dilation Endothelial . . . .
