Key result
Medium respiratory rates in males are linked to lower HRV versus low or high rates.
Why the study?
The variability of cardiac rhythm in males with different initial respiratory rates was studied to understand heart rate variability differences.
Does respiratory rate affect heart rate variability in males?
Does respiratory rate affect heart rate variability in males?
Heart rate variability is lower in males with medium respiratory rates compared to those with low or high respiratory rates.
Medium respiratory rates were associated with lower heart rate variability in males; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change autonomic assessment.
The variability of the cardiac rhythm was studied in males with different initial respiratory rates. At rest and during voluntarily controlled breathing, subjects with medium respiratory rates were found to have a less variable heart rate than their counterparts with low or high respiratory rates.
