The use of heart rate variability (HRV) in research has been greatly popularized over the
past decades due to the ease and affordability of HRV collection, coupled with its clinical …

BackgroundMajor depression (MD) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Reduced
heart rate variability (HRV) has been observed in MD. Given the predictive value of HRV for …

Background: Depression is a severe disease with great burdens for the affected individuals
and public health care systems. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction indexed by …

Introduction: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Pulse Rate Variability (PRV), are non-invasive
techniques for monitoring changes in the cardiac cycle. Both techniques have been used for …

The study of vulnerabilities to depression typically identifies factors that are thought to be
universally maladaptive or adaptive. In contrast, researchers recently have theorized that the …
