Overview

HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV) BIOFEEDBACK What is HRV biofeedback. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback is a non-invasive method of matching your breathing to heart rate patterns. Your heart rate speeds up as you inhale and slows down as you exhale. During HRV biofeedback, patients can visually see their beat-by-beat heart rate data and try to slow down their breathing to match their heart rate patterns.1 The patient receives immediate feedback from the device throughout this process. Patients are trained to breathe from their diaphragm to reduce their respiration rate to about six breaths per minute. Slowing down the heart rate activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which conserves our energy and allows our body to rest and relax.

How it works:

Activates parasympathetic nervous system
