Objective: This study examined whether high frequency heart-rate variability (HF-HRV) and HF-HRV reactivity to worry moderate response to cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) within both a standard and stepped-care framework among cancer patients with comorbid insomnia. Biomarkers such as HF-HRV may predict response to CBT-I, a finding which could potentially inform patient allocation to different treatment intensities within a stepped-care framework.
Methods: 177 participants (86.3 % female; M = 55.3, SD = 10.4) were randomized to receive either stepped-care or standard CBT-I. 145 participants had their HRV assessed at pre-treatment during a rest and worry period. Insomnia symptoms were assessed using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and daily sleep diary across five timepoints from pre-treatment to a 12-month post-treatment follow-up.
Results: Resting HF-HRV was significantly associated with pre-treatment sleep efficiency and sleep onset latency but not ISI score. However, resting HF-HRV did not predict overall changes in insomnia across treatment and follow-up. Similarly, resting HF-HRV did not differentially predict changes in sleep diary parameters across standard or stepped-care groups. HRV reactivity was not related to any of the assessed outcome measures in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses.
Conclusion: Although resting HF-HRV was related to initial daily sleep parameters, HF-HRV measures did not significantly predict longitudinal responses to CBT-I. These findings suggest that HF-HRV does not predict treatment responsiveness to CBT-I interventions of different intensity in cancer patients.

Aims: The mechanisms linking acute psychological stress to cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality are incompletely understood. We studied the relationship of electrocardiographic measures of autonomic dysfunction during acute mental stress provocation and CVD death.
Methods And Results: In a pooled cohort of 765 participants with stable CVD from two related studies, we collected Holter data during standardized laboratory-based mental stress testing with a speech task and followed them for events.

This study investigates changes in cardiorespiratory coupling during clinic breathing training and its impact on autonomic nervous functioning compared with heart rate variability (HRV). A total of 39 subjects undergoing dynamic electrocardiogram-recorded breathing training were analyzed. Subjects were divided into early- and late-training periods, and further categorized based on changes in HRV indexes.

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disorder of brain-gut interaction characterized by recurrent episodes of nausea and vomiting interspersed with asymptomatic periods and associated with autonomic nervous system dysfunction. We examined the dysautonomic response to noxious stimuli seen in CVS patients using our previously validated approach to integrate peripheral autonomic outflow metrics, temporal summation of pain, and brain fMRI. BOLD fMRI and ECG were acquired from CVS patients and healthy adults during a rest condition and a sustained cuff pressure pain stimulus at the leg.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how sport-related concussions (SRC) affect the cardiovascular autonomic nervous system (ANS) in adolescents, comparing those with SRC to control participants early after injury and after recovery.
- No significant differences in heart rate variability (HRV), systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV), or baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were observed between SRC athletes and controls post-injury, indicating that ANS function remains unchanged acutely after concussion.
- Post-recovery, SRC athletes exhibited higher low frequency SBPV, and certain correlations were found between symptom severity and ANS activity; however, these differences were not significant enough to provide strong diagnostic or prognostic value.

Objective: Vagally-mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) is regarded as transdiagnostic marker of emotion regulation and cognitive control capacity. We analysed vmHRV of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Based on previous research, we expected to find comorbid symptom dimensions (i.
