TLDR
This work shows that otherwise healthy, unmedicated patients with these disorders display reduced resting-state HRV, and that pharmacological treatments do not ameliorate these reductions, and proposes a working model for the effects of mood disorders, comorbid conditions, and their treatments to help guide future research activities.About:

Anxiety Disorders are Associated with Reduced Heart Rate Variability: A Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: Anxiety disorders are associated with reduced HRV, findings associated with a small-to-moderate effect size, highlighting a need for comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathophysiologic relationship between Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disease, and cardiovascular risk: A review and synthesis
TL;DR: This review discusses the current understanding of the epidemiology, genetics, and pathophysiology of AD, the intersection between AD and vascular causes of dementia, and proposes future directions for research and prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hierarchical basis of neurovisceral integration.
TL;DR: An updated/expanded version of the NVI model is presented that incorporates recent advances in functional neuroanatomy, and a class of computational models of brain function known as "predictive coding" models are illustrated to increase understanding of the relationship between vagal control and both cognitive performance and emotional/physical health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physiological effects of slow breathing in the healthy human
TL;DR: There appears to be potential for use of controlled slow breathing techniques as a means of optimising physiological parameters that appear to be associated with health and longevity, and that may extend to disease states; however, there is a dire need for further research into the area.

Matter Over Mind: A Randomised-Controlled Trial of Single-Session Biofeedback Training on Performance Anxiety and Heart Rate Variability in Musicians
TL;DR: Findings indicate that a single session of slow breathing, regardless of biofeedback, is sufficient for controlling physiological arousal in anticipation of psychosocial stress associated with music performance and that slow breathing is particularly helpful for musicians with high levels of anxiety.

Positive Psychological Attributes and Cardiac Outcomes: Associations, Mechanisms, and Interventions
Christina M. DuBois,Scott R. Beach,Todd B. Kashdan,Maren Nyer,Elyse R. Park,Christopher M. Celano,Jeff C. Huffman +6 more
TL;DR: Findings regarding the relationship between positive psychological attributes and cardiac health are promising and suggest that positive psychology interventions may be worth study in this population of cardiac patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antidepressant medication use and future risk of cardiovascular disease: the Scottish Health Survey
TL;DR: Although replication is required, the increased risk of CVD in men and women taking TCAs was not explained by existing mental illness, which suggests that this medication is associated with an excess disease burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depression, heart rate related variables and cardiovascular disease
TL;DR: Depression is a risk factor for both onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and increased morbidity and mortality for those with CVD and few studies have examined the effects of psychological interventions on HRV.

Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system predicts the development of the metabolic syndrome
Carmilla M. M. Licht,Carmilla M. M. Licht,Eco J. C. de Geus,Eco J. C. de Geus,Brenda W.J.H. Penninx +4 more
TL;DR: Increased sympathetic activity predicts an increase in metabolic abnormalities over time, suggesting that a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system is an important predictor of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes through dysregulating lipid metabolism and blood pressure over time.
