Abstract

Abstract Objective People with coronary artery disease (CAD) are at higher risk of cognitive impairment than those without CAD. Psychological stress is a risk factor for both conditions and assessing the hemodynamic reactivity to mental stress could explain the link between stress and cognitive function. Methods Individuals with stable CAD from two prospective cohort studies were included. All individuals underwent acute mental stress testing, as well as conventional stress testing. Cognitive function was assessed both at baseline and at a 2-year follow-up. The rate-pressure product (RPP) was calculated as the mean systolic blood pressure times the mean heart rate at rest. RPP reactivity was defined as the maximum RPP during standardized mental stress test minus the RPP at rest. Results After multivariable adjustment, every standard deviation decrease in RPP reactivity with mental stress was associated with slower completion of Trail-A and Trail-B in both cohorts (13% and 11% in cohort 1, and 15% and 16% in cohort 2, respectively, p for all <0.01). After a 2-year follow-up period, every standard deviation decrease in RPP reactivity with mental stress was associated with a 8%, and 9% slower completion of Trail-A and Trail-B, respectively (p for all <0.01). There was no significant association between RPP reactivity with conventional stress testing and any of the cognitive tests. Conclusion In the CAD population, a blunted hemodynamic response to mental stress is associated with slower visuomotor processing and worse executive function at baseline and with greater decline in these abilities over time.
