Components of heart rate variability have attracted considerable attention in psychology
and medicine and have become important dependent measures in psychophysiology and …

Depression is commonly present in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and is
independently associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Screening tests …

Electrocardiographic RR intervals fluctuate cyclically, modulated by ventilation, baroreflexes,
and other genetic and environmental factors that are mediated through the autonomic …

A high degree of heart rate (HR) variability is found in compensated hearts with good function,
whereas HR variability can be decreased with severe coronary artery disease, congestive …

Background Experimental evidence suggests that autonomic markers such as heart-rate
variability and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) may contribute to post-infarction risk stratification. …

BACKGROUND We studied 715 patients 2 weeks after myocardial infarction to establish the
associations between six frequency domain measures of heart period variability (HPV) and …

ContextMajor depressive disorder (MDD) occurs in 15% to 23% of patients with acute
coronary syndromes and constitutes an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality. …

We examined the relationships among ventricular arrhythmias, left ventricular dysfunction,
