Abstract
Patients who have experienced a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are susceptible to symptoms of anxiety or depression. To explore the potential biomarkers for emotional disorders in mTBI patients, we analyzed the frequency domain of heart rate variability (HRV) and serum concentrations of four neurohormones.
Subjects
Autonomic nervous system (ANS); Emotional disorder; Heart rate variability (HRV); Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1); Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)
