July 1, 1994AJP Heart and Circulatory Physiology

Increasing the respiratory interval from 3 to 6 seconds progressively increased the high-frequency amplitude of heart rate variability in both supine and tilt positions (P=0.001 and 0.035, respectively), while the mean R-R interval remained unchanged.

Why the study?

Does paced breathing and its respiratory interval modify the relationship between spectral components of heart rate variability and cardiac vagal tone in healthy young males?

Population

7 healthy young males under beta-adrenergic blockade by intravenous propranolol (0.2 mg/kg)

Comparison

Paced breathing at varying respiratory intervals vs Spontaneous breathing

Overview

Longer respiratory intervals amplify HF-HRV amplitude without changing mean R-R; hypothesis-generating for paced breathing standardization in vagal assessment.

Structured PICO

Does paced breathing and its respiratory interval modify the relationship between spectral components of heart rate variability and cardiac vagal tone in healthy young males?

P
Population
7 healthy young males under beta-adrenergic blockade by intravenous propranolol (0.2 mg/kg)
I
Intervention
Paced breathing at varying respiratory intervals (same as spontaneous, and increased from 3 to 6 seconds)
C
Comparator
Spontaneous breathing
O
Outcome
Spectral components of heart rate variability (amplitude of high-frequency and low-frequency components) and mean R-R intervalsurrogate

Increased respiratory intervals during paced breathing amplify respiratory-related vagal modulation of heart rate without changing mean cardiac vagal tone.
