Changes in heart rate variability during concentration meditation.

Abstract:

:This study aims at investigating changes in heart rate variability (HRV) measured during meditation. The statistical and spectral measures of HRV from the RR intervals were analyzed. Results indicate that meditation may have different effects on health depending on frequency of the resonant peak that each meditator can achieve. The possible effects may concern resetting baroreflex sensitivity, increasing the parasympathetic tone, and improving efficiency of gas exchange in the lung.

  • Severe right ventricular dysfunction following pericardiocentesis for cardiac tamponade.

    abstract::The accumulation of fluid in the pericardium in an amount sufficient to cause severe obstruction to blood inflow to the ventricles results in cardiac tamponade. In this condition, relief of intrapericardial pressure by pericardiocentesis usually dramatically improves cardiac output, and can be lifesaving. We report a ...
