• Breathing Rate Estimation From the Electrocardiogram and Photoplethysmogram: A Review (2017, positive): “RQIs are an important development since the presence or absence of respiratory modulations of the ECG or PPG is independent of the overall quality of those signals and instead varies based on factors such as gender, age, pre-existing health conditions, level of hydration, body position and the value”
• Toward understanding respiratory sinus arrhythmia: relations to cardiac vagal tone, evolution and biobehavioral functions. (2007, background): “…in that it enhances the efficiency of pulmonary gas exchange by matching blood perfusion to air flow in the lung throughout each breathing cycle, particularly during rest (Hayano and Yasuma, 2003; Hayano et al., 1996; Sasano et al., 2002; Yasuma and Hayano, 2001, 2004; Yasuma et al., 2001).”
• A healthy heart is not a metronome: an integrative review of the heart's anatomy and heart rate variability (2014, background): “They also suggest that this phase relationship between HR, respiration, and BP results in the most efficient gas exchange and oxygen saturation (Bernardi et al., 2001; Vaschillo et al., 2004; Yasuma and Hayano, 2004).”
• The physiological effects of slow breathing in the healthy human (2017, background): “Additional peripheral elements known to contribute to RSA include the peripheral chemoreflex [87], the Bainbridge reflex (atrial stretch receptors that respond to increases in blood volume during inspiration (when venous filling increases) by increasing heart rate [88, 89]) and the Hering–Breuer ref”
