Respiratory sinus arrhythmia is regarded as indicative of cardiac vagal integrity. A ratio of the longest R-R interval to the shortest R-R interval during deep breathing test (E:I ratio) was calculated in controls (n = 49), cluster headache (n = 33) and CPH (n = 4) patients. E:I ratio decreased with
