HRV, PACED BREATHING AND CARDIAC COHERENCE
With Kardia, you can practice heart rate variability (HRV) training through paced breathing. By breathing at a specific rate, around 5.5 cycles/min, your HRV increases and becomes regular. This state is known as cardiac coherence, or cardio-respiratory coherence. Many scientific studies have demonstrated that it has beneficial effects on stress and anxiety level, blood pressure, depression and sleep.

The best breathing rate is different for everyone. With Kardia, you can set very precisely the exercise frequency, so you will just need a few tries to find out the value that gives you the best results.

Love it!

Instant stress relief. Better than drugs. The effects are quite noticeable, it's easy to do and it only takes a few minutes so be sure to run the whole cycle to fully experience the benefits. In times of stress I can simply open this app and touch "play," thanks to the beautifully simple design. My body needed one or maybe two breaths to get comfortable with the rhythm at the very beginning, but what has followed ever since then is bliss. Just inhale and exhale in time with the dot and music as it expands and contracts. Your brain will do the rest.

Best breath pacer that I have found!

I love this breath pacer. It is the only one I’ve found that had a pleasant audio sound for the in-breath and then the out-breath so that I can close my eyes to do my practice. You can adjust the inhale/exhale ratio incrementally. You can also adjust the breaths per minute very incrementally (by .25 of a breath). The controls are easy to use and learn. The only thing that would make it better for me is if I could set the timer for longer than 5 minutes. 😊

Wonderfull application helped my heart.

I love this app. It is my daily "friend". I started using it after my HRV test and the app was recommended me by my doctor as a tool to tame my rapid pulse and manage stress . After using it for a few months with my personal setting ( from HRV test) I forgot about my SVT and I am amazed that you can treat this heart condition just with the proper personal breath pattern avoiding beta blockers medication or an ablation procedure. I am very happy. I feel blessed. Thank you.
