    RSA is a naturally occurring variation in heart rate that occurs during a breathing cycle. Heart rate is normally controlled by centers in the medulla oblongata. RSA is very pronounced in children, but without sufficient cardiovascular exercise it gradually disappears in the teens.

    Respiratory sinus arrhythmia


    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a naturally occurring variation in heart rate that occurs during a breathing cycle. Heart rate increases during
    inhalation and decreases during exhalation. Heart rate is normally controlled by centers in the medulla oblongata. One of these centers, the nucleus
    ambiguus, increases parasympathetic nervous system input to the heart via the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve decreases heart rate by decreasing the rate of
    SA node firing. Upon expiration the cells in the nucleus ambiguus are activated and heart rate is slowed down. In contrast, inspiration triggers inhibitory
    signals to the nucleus ambiguus and consequently the vagus nerve remains unstimulated.

    On an electrocardiogram ECG this phenomenon is seen as subtle changes in the R-R interval synchronized with respiration. The R-R interval on an ECG is
    shortened during inspiration and prolonged during expiration. RSA is very pronounced in children, but without sufficient cardiovascular exercise it An ECG showing respiratory sinus
    gradually disappears in the teens. Adults in excellent cardiovascular health, such as endurance runners, swimmers, and bicyclists, are also likely to have a arrhythmia
    pronounced RSA. Meditation and relaxed breathing techniques can temporarily induce RSA. RSA becomes less prominent with age, diabetes and
    cardiovascular disease. [1]

    Previous studies have shown that the efficiency of pulmonary gas exchange is improved by RSA, suggesting that RSA may play an active physiologic role. The matched timing of alveolar
    ventilation and its perfusion with RSA within each respiratory cycle could save energy expenditure by suppressing unnecessary heartbeats during expiration and ineffective ventilation during the
    ebb of perfusion. Furthermore, evidence has accumulated of a possible dissociation between RSA and vagal control of that heart rate, suggesting differential controls between the respiratory
    modulation of cardiac vagal outflow and cardiac vagal tone. RSA or heart rate variability in synchrony with respiration is a biological phenomenon, which may have a positive influence on gas
    exchange at the level of the lung via efficient ventilation/perfusion matching.[2]
