Abstract

This study investigated the effects of biofeedback/self-management training on heart rate variability (HRV) in six sudden cardiac arrest survivors. The physiological-theoretical basis of the training was cognitively inducing respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Power spectral analyses and nonspectral analyses (Kleiger, Magid, SCANN, BB50 measures) of HRV measured before and after 5 weeks of biofeedback training are described. The posttraining Kleiger measure of mean HRV increased compared to the pretraining mean HRV (159 +/- 37 ms vs 147 +/- 38 ms). After training, the high frequency components (0.27-0.30 Hz) of the power density spectra were markedly increased, suggesting an increase of respiratory-driven parasympathetic activity. After training, the low frequency components (0.05 Hz) were slightly decreased, suggesting a decrease in sympathetic activity. The increases noted in the high frequency components were more striking during 9 hours at night than during the day. These data indicate that subjects who have had sudden cardiac arrest can, through biofeedback/self-management, cognitively increase their HRV over a 5-week period, consequently increasing parasympathetic activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
