Bull Exp Biol Med. 2012 Sep;153(5):598-600. doi: 10.1007/s10517-012-1775-8.

Abstract

The parameters of heart rate variations were examined in emergency care doctors that demonstrated the initial signs of defensive psychological burnout syndrome related to their professional activity. These parameters were compared within each of two groups with different individual typological features. The differences in the heart rate variability parameters were revealed between the examinees that were at the compensation or alarm stages of the burnout syndrome.
