Greater respiratory entropy may be a factor in vulnerability to panic attacks in patients with panic disorder.
May signal respiratory dysregulation in panic disorder; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any clinical application.
Patients with panic disorder showed greater entropy in baseline respiratory patterns, indicating higher levels of irregularity and complexity in their respiratory function. Greater respiratory entropy could be a factor in vulnerability to panic attacks.
