Effect of Anterograde Abdominal Breathing Method on Heart Rate Variability, Arrhythmia and Autonomic Nerve Using Pulse analysis

(Research Paper,The 33rd Symposium on Life information Science)

Abstract

We applied this breathing method to 24 patients and studied the effect of the anterograde abdominal breathing method on heart rate variability, arrhythmia and the autonomic nerve using pulse analysis. The subjects were 24 patients (two males and 22 females). Arrhythmia observed in seven patients in Group A was decreased or cured after the breathing method. HRV, SDNN and LF/HF became normal after the breathing method. A significant difference was observed before and after the breathing method. The anterograde abdominal breathing method was observed to have an activating effect on HRV and a decreasing or curing effect on arrhythmia.
