Letter to the Editor: A comment on Borrione et  al.

I read with interest a recent article in Psychiatry Research on the probable association between heart rate variability and depressive symptoms by Borrione  et al. (2018). This was a cross-sectional study of 118 participants, mostly women, with a focus on heart rate variability and its relationship with several single items on the MADRS and HAM-D rating scales. The authors’ conclusion that “increased LF/HF ratio was predicted by melancholic symp toms” deserves a closer look.
