Relationship between duration of illness and cardiac autonomic nervous activity in anorexia nervosa

These results suggest that, given that the LF/HF ratio is an estimate of cardiac sympathovagal balance, anorectic patients with a long illness duration display lower vagal tone (parasympathetic withdrawal) and high sympathetic tone.
