Summary:
This is a cross-sectional study that investigated whether mobile phone use affects heart rate variability. A total of 148 healthy participants were included in the study. Based on the duration of mobile phone use, the participants were categorised into four groups: less than 30 minutes per day (min/d), 30-60 min/d, more than 60 min/d and no mobile phone use. The cardiovascular function of the participants was assessed via electrocardiogram. The authors reported that the heart rate variability was significantly increased in the three groups who used mobile phones.
