Resting heart rate, heart rate variability and blood pressure; the heart rate and blood pressure response to standing; and the heart rate response to Valsalva's manoeuvre, have been measured in a group of 12 patients with panic disorder and a group of 12 age- and sex-matched normal subjects. The patients had undergone treatment for their panic attacks with cognitive therapy; all had responded and all had been panic-free for a minimum of 4 months (mean 7.6 months). Mood ratings (BDI, BAI and SSAI) were comparable with established norms. The patients nevertheless had a raised resting systolic blood pressure, a reduced resting heart rate and an abnormal orthostatic response.
对12名恐慌症患者和12名年龄及性别匹配的正常受试者测量了静息心率、心率变异性和血压；站立时的心率和血压反应；以及瓦尔萨尔瓦动作时的心率反应。这些患者已接受认知疗法治疗恐慌症发作；所有人都有反应，且至少4个月（平均7.6个月）没有恐慌发作。情绪评分（BDI、BAI和SSAI）与既定标准相当。然而，这些患者的静息收缩压升高、静息心率降低且直立位反应异常。
