2. HRV in het kader van professionalisering van huisartsen en HRV-biofeedback in Nederland

Steeds duidelijker wordt dat het gaat om een breed spectrum van ziekten die gepaard gaan met een ontregeling van het autonome zenuwstelsel, dus het brede spectrum van emotionele dysregulatie, iets waar de huisarts zeer veel mee te maken heeft: stressgerelateerde ziekten, slaap/vermoeidheidssyndroom, hoge bloeddruk.

  • En als laatste het proefschrift van Wieke de Vente: Sick and tired: Psychological and physiological aspects of work-related stress. Hierin toont zij aan dat er verband is tussen zelfgerapporteerde werkstress gerelateerde klachten en fysiologische metingen, en zij adviseert in haar proefschrift dan ook het cardiovasculair profiel op te nemen voor klinische beoordelingen, met name cardiac output en Heart Rate Variability. Dat Heart Rate Variability in Nederland nu in de mainstream bij artsen is gekomen blijkt uit het feit, dat prof dr Eco de Geus (V.U. Amsterdam) in 2008 op het UMCG in Utrecht zijn onderwerp “genome wide analysis on heart rate and heart rate variability“ presenteerde.
