Heart-rate and blood-pressure variability during psychophysiological tasks involving speech: influence of respiration

Heart-rate and blood-pressure variability during psychophysiological tasks involving speech: influence of respiration
Heart-rate and blood-pressure variability during psychophysiological tasks involving speech: influence of respiration
Changes in heart-rate and systolic arterial pressure variability (HRV and SAPV) indexes have been used in psychophysiology to assess autonomic activation, including during tasks involving speech. The current article clearly demonstrates in a sample of 25 adult subjects that the erratic and broadband respiratory patterns during such tasks violate the usual assumption that respiration is limited to the high-frequency band (0.15-0.4 Hz). For these tasks, interindividual differences and rest-task changes in HRV and SAPV in the low-frequency band (0.04-0.15 Hz) can be explained, to a large extent, by variations in the respiratory volume signal. This makes the use of HRV and SAPV as markers of autonomic function during these tasks highly questionable. Furthermore, a number of subjects with long respiratory period at rest were identified, whose presence in the sample can bias the estimation of baseline rest values.

Abstract

Changes in heart-rate and systolic arterial pressure variability (HRV and SAPV) indexes have been used in psychophysiology to assess autonomic activation, including during tasks involving speech. The current article clearly demonstrates in a sample of 25 adult subjects that the erratic and broadband respiratory patterns during such tasks violate the usual assumption that respiration is limited to the high-frequency band (0.15-0.4 Hz). For these tasks, interindividual differences and rest-task changes in HRV and SAPV in the low-frequency band (0.04-0.15 Hz) can be explained, to a large extent, by variations in the respiratory volume signal. This makes the use of HRV and SAPV as markers of autonomic function during these tasks highly questionable. Furthermore, a number of subjects with long respiratory period at rest were identified, whose presence in the sample can bias the estimation of baseline rest values.
