Enjoyed this video, great information and spoken well. Although the heart does not beat because of the CNS. The heart beats through automaticity. Though it beats through automaticity, the variability of heart rate is affected by the ANS.
Thank you! Good point that I could have probably been more clear on. Yes, the heart beats through automaticity. Focusing on the brain/hypothalamic and autonomic influence here was intended to explore mechanisms within the body that explain the changes we see clinically and in the literature, and also to highlight the significance of HRV as it pertains to our ability to dynamically adapt to stress and express health and wellness. The human body is wonderfully complex :) -Dr. T
