Respiratory gating offers a controlled probe for autonomic timing studies; leaves open translation to clinical autonomic assessment.
Respiratory gating, manifested as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, serves as a precisely controlled experimental tool to investigate human autonomic neurophysiological mechanisms.
Dwain L. Eckberg (2003) conducted a review in Respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Respiratory activity was evaluated. Respiratory activity gates the timing of autonomic motoneurone firing but does not influence its tonic level, serving as a tool to understand human autonomic neurophysiological mechanisms.
