Heart rate variability biofeedback as a behavioral neurocardiac intervention to enhance vagal heart rate controlRobert P Nolan
Behavioural Cardiology Research Unit, University Health Network and Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
Am Heart J 149:1137. 2005..We hypothesized that (1) cognitive-behavioral training with HRV biofeedback would augment vagal recovery from acute stress, and (2) vagal regulation of HR would be inversely associated with stress and depression after treatment...- Behavioral neurocardiac training in hypertension: a randomized, controlled trialRobert P Nolan
