- Abstract
Within the past two decades, vagally-mediated heart rate variability (cardiovagal control) has been established as a biomarker of physiological and emotional arousal and emotion regulation. As there is increasing recognition of the importance of emotion reactivity and regulation in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the present review aims at summarizing the empirical evidence linking vagally-mediated heart rate variability, emotional reactivity, and emotion regulation in patients with ADHD. Although the association between ADHD and emotion-related dysfunction is currently a hot research topic, empirical investigations of autonomic mechanisms contributing to those alterations in emotion reactivity and regulation in ADHD are still rare, as our literature search identified only seven studies (k = 5 with children and adolescents, k = 2 with adults). While studies including adult patients do not allow drawing any firm conclusions, the studies with children and adolescents suggest alterations in autonomic functioning depending on ADHD subtypes. This physiological heterogeneity - if it proves robust - potentially allows for the development of novel treatments, as well as improvements in treatment allocation and matching.
