Abstract
Introduction
Cardiovascular features seem to modulate performance in attention tasks.
Methods
We investigated the relationship between blood pressure, resting heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) and performance in a visuospatial attention task comparing normotensive and hypotensive young adults.
Conclusions
We found an association between resting HRV and visual attention performance only in the normotensive group. In addition, we provided a further evidence of attention impairment in hypotensive individuals.
