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

Impact of instrumental music on heart rate variability in ardent music listeners
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]
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
The intracardiac nervous system (IcNS), sometimes referred to as the “little brain” of the heart, is involved in modulating many aspects of cardiac physiology.

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.

Progress of autonomic disturbances in narcolepsy type 1
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.

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