Heart rate variability (HRV) is a key indicator of cardiac autonomic function, making reliable assessment crucial. To examine the test-retest stability of resting HRV in healthy individuals, fifty participants attended two lab sessions within a week, at the same time of day. After a 5-minute acclimatization period, electrocardiogram and respiration were recorded at rest.

Objectives: Autonomic regulation has been identified as a potential regulator of pain via vagal nerve mediation, assessed through heart rate variability (HRV). Non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) and heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) have been proposed to modulate pain. A limited number of studies compare nVNS and HRVB in persons with chronic pain conditions.

Background: Autonomic dysfunction has been linked to empathy deficits in symptomatic frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), but less is known about pre-symptomatic FTD mutation carriers (preFTD+). Our prior work found that increasing resting heart rate (RHR) over time predicts decline in emotional empathy in preFTD+. Here, we replicate previous findings in a large, multi-site consortium sample and assess relationships between RHR and empathy loss across disease stages.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic sympathoinhibition on glucose uptake by the myocardium and by the skeletal muscle in an animal model of obesity associated with leptin signaling deficiency. 6 obese Zucker rats (OZR) and 6 control Lean Zucker rats (LZR) were studied during basal conditions, chronic clonidine administration (30 days, 300 µg/kg), and washout recovery period. Glucose uptake in the myocardium and in the skeletal muscle was measured using positron emission tomography (PET) and 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG).

During cardiac development the heart is innervated by the autonomous nervous system. After development, neurons of the autonomic nervous system have limited capacity for growth and regeneration. However, in the past decades, it has become clear that cardiac nerves can regenerate after cardiac damage.
