Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) has been shown to be a sensitive index of vagal cardiac control. We studied the genetic and nongenetic influences on individual differences in RSA in a sample of 160 adolescent twins. RSA was measured during rest and across two different tasks. Results show that heritability is task dependent. The amount of genetic variance is the same, however, during rest and task conditions. Because nonshared environmental variance decreases during tasks, heritability is larger for RSA measured under more stressful conditions than for RSA as measured during rest. Multivariate models assessed the continuity of the genetic and environmental influences and show genetic influences to be the same across different conditions, while environmental influences are different. More specifically, a one-factor model is found for genetic influences and a second-order autoregressive model for the environmental factors.
