Core Tip

Core Tip: The process of Quran memorisation increases the heart rate variability in several ways. The spiritual and meditation practices have been linked to heightened parasympathetic and reduced sympathetic cardiac regulation. It activates both sympathetic and parasympathetic actions with the increase of standard deviation of N-N (heartbeat peak) interval and low frequency values. Heart rate variability is believed to play an important role in diagnosing cardiovascular autonomy disorders in children and adolescents.
