PG  - 742-51
AB  - Psychophysiological assessment data, including heart rate (HR), blood pressure, 
      and frontal electromyogram (EMG) responses to mental arithmetic, idiosyncratic 
      audiotape descriptions of motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), and a standard 
      videotape of MVAs, were collected on 105 injured victims of recent MVAs and 54 
      non-MVA controls. Their data replicated data from an earlier report (Blanchard et 
      al., 1994) and support the utility of HR response to the audiotaped description 
      of the MVA as useful in distinguishing MVA victims with PTSD from those with 
      subsyndromal PTSD and non-PTSD. At a 1-year follow-up, the psychophysiological 
      assessment was repeated on 125 MVA victims; results showed a general diminution 
      of psychophysiological responding. Initial psychophysiological assessment results 
      predicted 1-year follow-up clinical status (continued PTSD or full or partial 
      remission) for 37 or 48 individuals who initially met criteria for PTSD.
