Two experiments focused on two information variables relevant to changes in heart rate, field dependence and the ability to perceive one's own heart rate. In Exp. I, 14 field-independent and 17 field-dependent subjects completed a heart-rate perception and a voluntary heart-rate control task. The anticipated superiority in heart-rate control by field-independent subjects was detected although no evidence was found for a relationship between the amount of biofeedback available in the situation and voluntary control of the cardiovascular system. Exp. II involved 9 field-independent and 8 field-dependent subjects in a classical conditioning paradigm involving shock sensitivity. In contrast with Exp. I, in this phase of the study heart-rate increases were correlated with the ability of the subject to discriminate heart beats, especially for the field-independent group. It was concluded that field dependence and heart-rate perception are related to classically conditioned heart-rate increase for some subjects and further that field dependence may be a potent variable operating in those situations involving the voluntary control of heart rate without exteroceptive feedback.

Proportional Feedback

The relative effectiveness of biofeedback techniques on the voluntary control of heart rate was examined by randomly assigning 32 Ss to one of four feedback conditions in a bi-directional heart-rate control task: (1) no feedback, (2) binary feedback— S was signaled when an interbeat interval had changed in the correct direction, (3) “real-time,” proportional feedback— S was provided information about the relative duration of successive interbeat intervals, and (4) numerical, proportional feedback—each interbeat interval was represented as a numeral indicating its relationship to pre-trial mean by direction and magnitude. Significant over-all heart-rate changes were evidenced for both increase and decrease directions, but no differences were found between the feedback conditions. While these data suggest that feedback may be a relatively insignificant factor in voluntary heart-rate control, it was recommended that further investigation examine the role of feedback within the context of other training, mediating and motivational variables.

Abstract Background Previous studies highlighted the importance of adequate heart rate control in heart failure patients, and suggested under-treatment with beta-blockers especially in women. However, data on women achieving effective heart rate control during beta-blocker therapy optimization are lacking. Methods The wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) allows continuous monitoring of heart rate (HR) trends during WCD use. In the current study, we assessed resting HR trends (nighttime: midnight-7am) in women, both at the beginning of WCD use and at the end of WCD use to assess the adequacy of beta-blockade following a typical 3 months of therapy optimization with beta-blockers. An adequate heart rate control was defined as having a nighttime HR <70 bpm at the end of the 3 months. Results There were a total of 21,453 women with at least 30 days of WCD use (>140 hours WCD use on the first and last week). The mean age was 67 years (IQR 58–75). The mean nighttime heart rate was 72 bpm (IQR 65–81) at the beginning of WCD use, that decreased to 68 bpm (IQR 61–76) at the end of WCD use with therapy optimization. Women had an insufficient heart rate control with resting heart rate ≥70 bpm in 59% at the beginning of WCD use that decreased to 44% at the end of WCD use, but still remained surprisingly high. Interestingly, there were 21% of the women starting with HR ≥70 bpm at the beginning of use (BOU) who achieved adequate heart rate control by the end of use (EOU). Interestingly, 6% of women with adequate heart rate control at the start of therapy optimization ended up having higher heart rates >70 bpm at the end of the therapy optimization time period (Figure). Figure 1 Conclusions A significant proportion of women with heart failure and low ejection fraction do not reach an adequate heart rate control during the time of beta blocker initiation/titration. The wearble cardioverter defibrillator is a monitoring device that has been demonstrated in this study to appropriately identify patients with inadequate heart rate control at the end of the therapy optimization period. The WCD could be utilized to improve management of beta-blocker therapy in women and improve the achievement of adequate heart rate control in women.

SummaryThe extent to which anxiety, irritability and depression were differentiated as separate entities associated with characteristic patterns of somatic and cognitive symptoms by field dependent (FD) and field independent (Fl) normal female subjects was studied with the Hidden Figures Test and Unpleasant Emotions Questionnaire. In the Fl group the correlations between the three emotions were low and non-significant, reflecting a clear-cut differentiation in symptom configuration, as shown by psychiatrists. In the FD group the inter-correlations were significant and positive, corresponding to relatively poor symptom differentiation, comparable to that of a psychiatric patient group. This suggests that the cognitive style variable of field dependence may underly differences in symptom differentiation associated with psychiatrist/patient differences and, more generally, with social class and sex differences.

Personality Theories

Some characteristics of the social behavior of field-dependents as well as their superior recognition of ambiguous social stimuli led to the hypothesis that they would show greater self-disclosure than field-independents. This hypothesis was tested by administering the 60-item Jourard Self-disclosure Questionnaire (JSDQ) to 13 field-dependent and 13 field-independent Ss. In terms of total self-disclosure scores, field-dependents showed significantly (.025) higher levels than field-independents. Results are discussed in light of personality theories which emphasize the role of self-conceptual transactions in the development of the self.
