Abstract

It is well known that the decrease of the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is related to a number of important pathologies involving cardiovascular system as well as psychological and psychiatric disorders. In such case a prompt recover of HRV and, in particular, of parasympathetic modulation is required in the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System).

Keywords
