Slow breathing influences cardiac autonomic responses to postural maneuver
Open accessAbstract
Chronic slow breathing has been reported to improve Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in patients with cardiovascular disorders. However, it is not clear regarding its acute effects on HRV responses on autonomic analysis. We evaluated the acute effects of slow breathing on cardiac autonomic responses to postural change manoeuvre (PCM). The study was conducted on 21 healthy male students aged between 18 and 35 years old. In the control protocol, the volunteer remained at rest seated for 15 min under spontaneous breathing and quickly stood up within 3 s and remained standing for 15 min. In the slow breathing protocol, the volunteer remained at rest seated for 10 min under spontaneous breath, then performed slow breathing for 5 min and rapidly stood up within 3 s and remained standing for 15 min. Slow breathing intensified cardiac autonomic responses to postural maneuver.

Slow breathing improved cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic responsiveness to physical perturbations.
“Slow breathing improved cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic responsiveness to physical perturbations”
From The physiological effects of slow breathing in the healthy human (2017) · cites this paper as [107]
The Discussion reports improved cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic responses after slow breathing during a seated-to-standing postural maneuver. The study tested that specific maneuver, so it does not establish improved responsiveness to physical perturbations more generally. (LLM, conf=0.82)

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.
