AB  - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: One psychopathological mechanism that links anger to 
      coronary artery disease (CAD) is cardiac autonomic imbalance. Blood volume 
      amplitude (BVA) and pulse transit time (PTT) are related to peripheral arterial 
      elasticity and cardiac conduction, which are used as indirect markers for 
      autonomic activation. The purposes of this study were to examine the 
      relationships between BVA and PTT, and the reactivity of BVA and PTT during the 
      anger recall task in patients with CAD. METHODS AND SUBJECTS: A total of 112 
      patients with CAD and 93 healthy controls were recruited; BVA and PTT were 
      collected during baseline, the neutral episode, the anger episode, and after 
      recovery. RESULTS: There were significant positive correlations between BVA and 
      PTT in all participants. BVA reactivity during the anger episode was greater in 
      patients with CAD than in healthy controls, and there were also lower BVA 
      recovery values after the neutral and anger episodes. However, there was no 
      significant difference in BVA reactivity between the two groups in the neutral 
      episode. PTT recovered to baseline levels after the neutral and anger episodes in 
      healthy controls, but not in the patients with CAD. CONCLUSION: BVA and PTT were 
      associated with peripheral vascular elasticity and cardiac conduction that were 
      regulated by the cardiac autonomic system. Peripheral vasoconstriction and 
      changes in travel time between left ventricular and peripheral vasculature during 
      the anger episode, and impaired recovery to baseline levels may relate to the 
      psychopathological mechanisms of CAD.
