Heart rate variability as a measure of autonomic nervous system function in anorexia nervosa

Background and hypothesis: Alteration in sympathovagal balance may be a mechanism of increased cardiovascular mortality and sudden death of patients with anorexia nervosa. This study was undertaken to characterize cardiac autonomic control in patients with anorexia nervosa by means of heart rate variability analysis.
