Structured PICO

Heart rate variability biofeedback increases resting baroreflex gain and peak expiratory flow, demonstrating neuroplasticity of the baroreflex.

Abstract

Heart rate variability biofeedback had strong long-term influences on resting baroreflex gain and pulmonary function. It should be examined as a method for treating cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Also, this study demonstrates neuroplasticity of the baroreflex.
