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

Longer respiratory intervals amplify HF-HRV amplitude without changing mean R-R; hypothesis-generating for paced breathing standardization in vagal assessment.
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?
Increased respiratory intervals during paced breathing amplify respiratory-related vagal modulation of heart rate without changing mean cardiac vagal tone.
