Depressed Affect is Associated with Poorer Cardiovascular Recovery in Young Women Following a Mental Stressor
Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between depressed mood and cardiovascular recovery following a standard mental stress task in healthy young women.
