RESUMEN
Fear-induced bradycardia, a transient heart rate deceleration related to a threatening event, is a powerful technique used to assess fear conditioning in humans. During the last century, studies highlighted its usefulness, even when applied to patients with various psychiatric disorders. Here, we provide an insight into these first steps in the field as well as modern works, which helped in refining the methodology. As data is still limited, future endeavors will continue to deepen the knowledge on fear-induced bradycardia and ensure its use as a biomarker to expedite and improve psychiatric interventions, thus lowering the socio-economic burden associated with these disorders.
