Key result
Higher resting heart rate variability was inversely related to startle magnitude and associated with more differentiated emotion-modulated startle effects.

Is resting heart rate variability associated with emotion-modulated startle magnitude in female participants?
Ruiz‐Padial et al. (2003) reported a cross-sectional. Resting heart rate variability (HRV) vs. Low HRV was evaluated on Emotion-modulated startle magnitude. Higher resting heart rate variability was inversely related to startle magnitude and associated with more differentiated emotion-modulated startle effects.
