Implication

Stress correlates with reduced HRV, more in females; leaves open longitudinal studies before clinical adoption.

Population

150 first-year MBBS medical student volunteers (78 female, 72 male) in India

Outcome

Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters, basal heart rate, and blood pressuresurrogate

Increased stress in medical students, particularly females, is associated with reduced heart rate variability and increased blood pressure, indicating a potential negative impact on cardiovascular health.
