摘要:
The relationship between cardiac rate variation, resting sinus rhythm heart rate in beats per minute, and mental state is reviewed. A small series of 12 psychiatric patients in whom these variables were studied both before and after appropriate psychiatric treatment is reported. Comparison with the periodicity of cardiac rate variation in a normal group of subjects showed that the setting of the biological clock governing cardiac rate variation in psychiatric patients is abnormal, and in these cases running at a slower frequency than that of mental health. Appropriate psychiatric therapy re‐sets this clock in patients responding to treatment, but fails to do so in those patients who remain unimproved. Resting mean sinus rhythm heart rate in beats per minute does not show this relationship.
