- Abstract
- Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the disabling diseases in the world-wide, and known to increase cardiac morbidity and mortality. Therefore, previous studies related heart rate variability (HRV) have been conducted to evaluate and diagnose MDD, and to predict treatment outcomes in patient with MDD. We reviewed extensively on the previous peer-reviewed publications associated with this issue, using Pub-Med. In this review article, we introduce the basic concept of HRV and HRV measures, and present several important findings associated with diagnosis and treatment prediction in MDD with using HRV parameters. Furthermore, we discuss the possible underlying mechanism of this phenomenon, and suggest several considerations for the future research.
