Brief Summary:
This randomized controlled trial will examine whether behavioral neurocardiac training with heart rate variability biofeedback BNT augments reduction in ambulatory daytime and 24-hour SBP DBP and PP in comparison to an active control intervention AC autogenic relaxation training among subjects diagnosed with hypertension and following adjustment for medications In addition the independent association between the BNT and AC interventions on vagal-heart rate modulation and baroreflex sensitivity will be evaluated during a standardized assessment protocol of mental stress testing This study extends a previous trial conducted at the UHN in which we reported that the biofeedback intervention independently augments vagal-heart rate modulation while reducing symptoms of stress and depressed mood among subjects diagnosed with cardiovascular disease Exploratory features of this trial will examine the association between ambulatory blood pressure vagal-heart rate modulation baroreflex sensitivity and markers of inflammatory activity
