Excellent paper demonstrating how low heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased inflammation. High-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV) had the strongest inverse relationship with proinflammatory cytokines. HF-HRV represents the functionality of the vagus nerve, the conduit of all parasympathetic signaling. The vagus nerve can lose function because of chronically elevated blood sugar, chemotherapies, and ironically chronic
