چکیده

Thirteen healthy subjects were tested for parasympathetic reactivity during head-up tilt and reversal of the tilt. Head-up tilt (70 degrees) resulted in significant increase in baseline heart rate and diastolic blood pressure. Head-up tilt also led to increased parasympathetic reactivity as measured by Valsalva manoeuvre and hand grip test. Heart rate response to deep breathing test did not change. The reversal of the tilt led to returning of heart responses to original values. Responses indicate towards enhanced parasympathetic reactivity during head-up tilt position.

Effects of mental task on heart rate variability during graded head-up tilt.

In this study, we used spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) to estimate the changes in autonomic control in response to disparate stimuli produced by mental task and graded head-up tilting. The low frequency (LF) component of HRV provided a quantitative index of the sympathetic and parasympathetic (vagal) activities controlling the heart rate (HR), while the high frequency (HF) com...

Modeling heart rate regulation--part I: sit-to-stand versus head-up tilt.

In this study we describe a model predicting heart rate regulation during postural change from sitting to standing and during head-up tilt in five healthy elderly adults. The model uses blood pressure as an input to predict baroreflex firing-rate, which in turn is used to predict efferent parasympathetic and sympathetic outflows. The model also includes the combined effects of vestibular and ce...

Effect of head up tilt on heart rate variability in males

Keywords: Head up tilt(HUT) Heart rate variability(HRV) Low frequency(LF) High frequency(HF) Original Article AIMS : Orthostatic stress is commonly utilized to evaluate the cardiovascular autonomic function. This is done mainly by Head Up Tilt (HUT) testing. The parameters which represent the cardiovascular autonomic function involved the Heart Rate Variability (HRV).HRV indices provide non-inv...

Cardiovascular autonomic functions & cerebral autoregulation in patients with orthostatic hypotension

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Patients of orthostatic hypotension may or may not have symptoms of the cerebral hypoperfusion despite fall in the blood pressure. The present study was done to quantify autonomic functions and cerebral autoregulation in patients of orthostatic hypotension with or without symptoms. METHODS The study was conducted in 15 patients of orthostatic hypotension and 15 age, se...

Post-reperfusion Coagulopathy Hyperventilation-induced Unconsciousness during Labour

Sir,—In commenting on our paper [1], Kardos, Rudas and Simon described their own use of the analysis of short-term heart rate variability to assess the effect of varying posture on cardiac autonomic control. Essentially they have confirmed that head-up tilt causes sympathetic activation (as evidenced by an increase in the low frequency variability) in comparison with supine and head-down positi...
