background: patients with chronic stable angina often have a state of sympathetic hyperactivity. it is considered associated with myocardial ischemia and disappears after ischemia elimination. the aim of this study was to investigate the changes in heart rate variability parameters, a noninvasive technique for the evaluation of the autonomic nervous system activity, after successful revasculari...

purpose: hypercapnia increases minute ventilation (v’e) with little effect on heart rate (hr), whereas hypoxia may increase hr without affecting v’e. however, the effects of hypercapnia and hypoxia on both heart rate variability (hrv) and the clustering of heart beats during spontaneous breathing (respiratory sinus arrhythmia – rsa), are not clear. methods: in this study, 10 human volunteers br...

Aim: The aim of this observational study was to perform in-depth analysis autonomic nervous system function in patients older than 60 years age with coronary artery disease, and normotension or hypertension. Method: A total 104 heart disease (CHD) were divided into a group hypertension (HT) group, 24-hour Holter monitoring performed assess function. Result: Among the CHD analyzed, 52 had normot...

BACKGROUND Patients with chronic stable angina often have a state of sympathetic hyperactivity. It is considered associated with myocardial ischemia and disappears after ischemia elimination.

It is established that the instantaneous heart rate (HR) of healthy humans keeps on changing. Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) has become a popular non invasive tool for assessing the activities of autonomic nervous system. Depressed HRV has been found in several disorders, like diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary artery disease, characterised by autonomic nervous dysfunction. A new tec...

Background: This study aims to evaluate the effect of exercise training on heart rate variability (HRV) and to determine the correlation between parameters of HRV and the ejection fraction in patients with heart failure after percutaneous coronary intervention.Material and Methods: Fifty patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 40% undergone percutaneous coronary intervention were r...

background: it has been suggested that the autonomic system function and the metabolic syndrome can significantly affect patients' survival. the aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of the cardiac rehabilitation program on the autonomic system balance in patients with coronary artery disease. methods: patients with a previous diagnosis of coronary artery disease who were refer...
