In recent years there has been a substantial increase in research on heart rate variability (HRV), as an index of autonomic nervous system regulation. HRV-Biofeedback has been applied in a number of medical, psychiatric or health related conditions characterised by reduced HRV. This review provides a general overview of HRV psychophysiology, methods of measurement and the principal applications of HRV-Biofeedback. Data support the clinical efficacy of the treatment in several clinical conditions; however issues for mechanisms of effect should be seriously considered in order to advance our understanding of mechanisms underlying HRV-Biofeedback. Further research should be supported and encouraged in order to strengthen the evidence for the efficacy of such a promising psychophysiological treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
