Key result
Drug-free panic disorder was not associated with significant differences in 24-hour heart rate variability parameters, including RMSSD (p=0.229) and pNN50 (p=0.571), compared to healthy controls.

No HRV differences in drug-free panic disorder support no practice change; leaves open links to cardiovascular outcomes.

Does panic disorder alter 24-hour heart rate variability compared to healthy controls?
Drug-free panic disorder does not appear to significantly alter 24-hour heart rate variability parameters compared to healthy controls.
Durdu et al. (2018) conducted a case-control in Panic disorder (n=56). Panic disorder vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on 24-hour heart rate variability (HRV) parameters. Drug-free panic disorder was not associated with significant differences in 24-hour heart rate variability parameters, including RMSSD (p=0.229) and pNN50 (p=0.571), compared to healthy controls.
