The authors propose that biofeedback can modulate HRV whole health biomarkers by inducing cardiorespiratory efficiency, thereby reducing unremitting hyperarousal, and helping to assess for opioid risk behavior and improve overall outcomes.

Could biofeedback modulate heart rate variability enough to improve cardiorespiratory efficiency, hyperarousal, and opioid risk behavior? A case proposal.
