Biofeedback-assisted heart rate modification after myocardial infarction
Abstract
Four patients who had suffered a myocardial infarction were given biofeedback training in order to assess (1) the possibility of increasing heart rate variability with the help of a feedback; (2) the possible cardiac consequences, from the clinical viewpoint, of biofeedback treatment. A biofeedback procedure alternately increasing and decreasing heart rate under instruction and feedback-plus-instruction conditions, was used. Evaluation of clinical parameters was effected by Holter dynamic ECG and by means of a graded submaximal effort test on the cycloergometer. The results show: (1) poor capacity to increase heart rate variability, but a tendency towards small unidirectional modifications; (2) no significant clinical modification except in isolated parameters. Further study is necessary to assess the usefulness of biofeedback training in the rehabilitation treatment of post-infarction patients. The datum, confirmed elsewhere, concerning apparent cardiovascular "rigidity' in such patients, is interesting but requires clarification.

Behavioral modification, meditation, hypnosis, biofeedback, and cognitive and relaxation therapies can stimulate vagus nerve activity.
“Behavioral modification, meditation, hypnosis, biofeedback, and cognitive and relaxation therapies, which have been advocated for treatment of inflammation, can stimulate vagus nerve activity (69)(70)(71)(72)(73)(74)(75).”

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.
