Acute stress enhances heartbeat-evoked potentials, but does not affect cardiac interoceptive accuracy

[en] Previous findings suggest that acute stress enhances attention focused on heartbeats, which is the definition of the construct cardiac ‘interoceptive attention’ (IAt). The difference of heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs) assessed while performing a heartbeat counting task (HCT) vs. a distraction task is considered an indicator of cardiac IAt. The aim of this study was to investigate if acute stress enhances cardiac IAt and how activation of the sympatho-adrenomedullary (SAM) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) stress axis contribute to this potential effect. Sixty-six young, healthy individuals were randomly assigned to a stress (socially-evaluated cold pressor test/SECPT; n=32) or a control group (n=34), and underwent a HCT and a distraction task once before and three times (+0, +20, +40 min.) after the intervention (SECPT/control). The SECPT effectively increased heart rate, systolic/diastolic blood pressure and cortisol release. Cardiac interoceptive accuracy based on the HCT was unaffected by stress. Individuals in the SECPT group showed an increase in HEPs (R-wave +455-595 ms) assessed during the HCT 40 min. after the intervention (at F8, Cz, C4, CP6, P8). These findings suggest that acute stress may selectively enhance cardiac IAt. Its primarily right-hemispheric topography suggests the involvement of insular activity in mediating this effect. Exploratory analyses in the stress group showed that the responsiveness of HEPs to the stressor (+40 min. vs. before) was negatively correlated with stress responsiveness in systolic blood pressure and pain intensity/unpleasantness. Future studies should clarify whether this late effect of acute stress on IAt is due to parasympathetic deactivation during stress recovery, and if their underlying neural networks (e.g., cardiac parasympathetic afferents) play a role in mediating IAt.
