The Relationship between a New Biomarker of Vagal Neuroimmunomodulation and Survival in Two Fatal Cancers
1 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background. The vagus nerve may slow tumor progression because it inhibits inflammation. This study examined the relationship between a new vagal neuroimmunomodulation (NIM) index and survival in fatal cancers. Method. We retroactively derived markers of vagal nerve activity indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), specifically the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), from patients’...
