Validity and Efficacy of the Elite HRV Smartphone Application during Slow-Paced Breathing

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Slow-paced breathing is a clinical intervention used to increase heart rate variability (HRV). The practice is made more accessible via cost-free smartphone applications like Elite HRV. We investigated whether Elite HRV can accurately measure and augment

Assessment and Therapeutic Modulation of Heart Rate Variability: Potential Implications in Patients with COVID-19

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Cardiac damage has been attributed to SARS-CoV-2-related pathology contributing to increased risk of vascular events. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a parameter of functional neurocardiac integrity with low HRV constituting an independent predictor of ...

Impact of instrumental music on heart rate variability in ardent music listeners

open access: yesResearch in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Purpose: The autonomic nervous system serves as the final gateway by which music exerts a therapeutic effect on health and disease. The aim of the study is to find the effect of different instrumental music on heart rate variability (HRV) as a part of ...

Cold Pressor Response in High Landers Versus Low Landers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Background: Native high landers face two main environmental challenges i.e. hypobaric hypoxia and low ambient temperatures. Both factors contribute to increased sympathetic stimulation and increased blood pressure.

From Mice to Mainframes: Experimental Models for Investigation of the Intracardiac Nervous System

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
The intracardiac nervous system (IcNS), sometimes referred to as the “little brain” of the heart, is involved in modulating many aspects of cardiac physiology.

Stress and Tinnitus; Transcutaneous Auricular Vagal Nerve Stimulation Attenuates Tinnitus-Triggered Stress Reaction

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
IntroductionTinnitus can become a strong stressor for some individuals, leading to imbalance of the autonomous nervous system with reduction of parasympathetic activity. It can manifest itself as sleep disturbances, anxiety and even depression.

Long COVID and the Autonomic Nervous System: The Journey from Dysautonomia to Therapeutic Neuro-Modulation through the Retrospective Analysis of 152 Patients

open access: yesNeuroSci, 2022
Introduction. The severity and prevalence of Post-Acute COVID-19 Sequela (PACS) or long-COVID syndrome (long COVID) should not be a surprise. Long-COVID symptoms may be explained by oxidative stress and parasympathetic and sympathetic (P&S) dysfunction ...

Progress of autonomic disturbances in narcolepsy type 1

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
Narcolepsy type 1 is a kind of sleep disorder characterized by a specific loss of hypocretin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and reduced levels of hypocretin-1 in the cerebrospinal fluid.

The Role of Heart Rate on the Associations Between Body Composition and Heart Rate Variability in Children With Overweight/Obesity: The ActiveBrains Project

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
BackgroundHeart rate variability (HRV) is negatively associated with body mass index and adiposity in several populations. However, less information is available about this association in children with overweight and obesity, especially severe/morbid ...

Comparison of Spontaneous versus Paced Breathing on Heart Rate Variability at High Altitude [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
Introduction: There is conflicting data at sea-level to suggest that Paced Breathing (PB) versus Spontaneous Breathing (SB) during short-term Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurement improves data reliability.
