Does higher stress measured by HRV correlate with higher academic achievement in medical students?
Higher stress levels, as measured by heart rate variability, are associated with improved academic achievement in medical students.
This study shows that medical students with higher stress measured by HRV have higher academic achievement, especially in written examinations. Further studies are needed to confirm the results of this study and to assess the long-term effects of HRV-measured stress on medical students.
