Abstract

To investigate the effects of gradually guided breathing on heart rate variability (HRV), 10 healthy men’s simultaneous ECG and respiratory signal during the guided breathing process(14 beats / min -12.5 beats / min -11 beats / min -9.5 beats / min -8 beats / minute -7 beats / min)were acquired. Based on the frequency domain total power of HRV, the respiratory power reflecting the impact of respiration on HRV, as well as the time domain standard deviation of R-R and mean heart rate, the effects of respiratory rate on HRV was studied. A tendency increase features the total power of HRV, respiration power and the standard deviation of R-R series as respiration rate decreased. The results suggest that with guided breathing to regulate the cardiovascular system could effectively increase the vagal tone and total HRV.
