Female Sexual Function and Heart Rate Variability

Few studies have examined the associations of resting heart rate variability (HRV) with female sexual function and behavior. Therefore, we welcome the recent study finding that women with below average resting HRV (as assessed by the standard deviation of NN intervals; SDNN) had lower sexual arousal and lower global sexual function than women with average or above average SDNN (while viewing a neutral film) (Stanton et al. 2015). The SDNN...
