“…HRV has been used in recent years to reflect autonomic nervous system activity and to quantitatively assess cardiac sympathetic and vagus tone and homeostasis [8]. Numerous studies have shown that approximately 80% of patients with advanced cancer patients have autonomic dysfunction [9] and exhibit significantly lower HRV values compared to healthy individuals [10][11][12][13]. With the continuous rise in the attention towards cancer, more and more scholars are focusing on the study of HRV in relation to cancer.…”
