Why the study?
Does heart rate variability biofeedback improve resting baroreflex gain and peak expiratory flow?
Does heart rate variability biofeedback improve resting baroreflex gain and peak expiratory flow?
Heart rate variability biofeedback increases resting baroreflex gain and peak expiratory flow, demonstrating neuroplasticity of the baroreflex.

May support long-term baroreflex and pulmonary benefits from HRV biofeedback; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
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.
