“I’ve been astonished to notice the change in
patients suffering from heart disease… They will tell you that they have suddenly become low spirited, their sleep is disturbed and they are not able to take their
dinner”
- Henry Head (1901)Brain (1901), 24(3).

one of the most prominent and disabling features.”

Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS)inhibits heart rate via the ‘vagal brake’

Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)
stimulates heart rate via a release of the ‘vagal brake’
![Page 15: Heart rate variability and social dysfunction](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5400ed9e8d7f7210628b4619/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Control of the vagal brake can be measured non-invasively at rest with an
electrocardiogram (ECG)

How can we measure HRV?

The autonomic nervous system
HRV is the temporal variation of beats
![Page 18: Heart rate variability and social dysfunction](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050815/5400ed9e8d7f7210628b4619/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A flexible structure is better suited to cope with environmental stress
