Heart rate variability during sympatho-excitory challenges: comparison between spontaneous and metronomic breathing
Article Abstract:
This article examines the influence of respiration on heart rate variablity, suggesting the need to control respiration in experimental circumstances, however it also creates an increase in heart rate. The authors attempted to arrive at autonomic function both with and without use of controlled respiration rate, finding that metronomic breathing and spontaneous breathing are similar.
