Zusammenfassung:Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between depression and heart rate variability (HRV) in rehabilitation ward inpatients.Methods: Depression was assessed using the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) in 10 inpatients in a convalescent rehabilitation ward. We also measured R–R intervals during nighttime rest, evaluated HRV by frequency analysis, and confirmed the association between autonomic activity and depression by calculation of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.Results: A negative correlation was found between depression and the very low-frequency (VLF) band of HRV (ρ=−0.70, P
