Yes. It's just a preprint for now (I thought it was just published properly today, but it's just a healthrising article). They do a literature review into parasympathetic suppression in patients:
"Patients with long COVID have lower HRV values at rest in the time-domain [
8,
19] or during sleep in the frequency domain [
8], suggestive of parasympathetic inhibition and autonomic dysfunction. However, some studies even report higher HRV in the time-domain in long COVID patients [
20,
21]. A recent literature overview confirmed a lower HRV in patients with long COVID, although methodological quality was poor and measurements were very short and not related to specific daily life activities or sleep [
22]. These findings suggest autonomic dysfunction, characterised by diminished parasympathetic activity, which may be a key feature in long COVID patients [
8,
19], but how HRV is related to the pathophysiology of ppost-exertional malaise in long COVID is currently unknown. Indeed, HRV in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) remained lower shortly after exercise, while HRV increased in healthy controls [
23]."
