1 – Percentage of the maximum heart rate (%HRmax) in the anaerobic threshold (AT) and respiratory compensation point (RCP) of all patients with heart failure (HF) in functional

To measure the serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with chronic chagasic heart disease and in individuals with positive serology for Chagas’ disease and no

Since the two additional tests of cardiac parasympathetic function were also normal in our asymptomatic patients with ventricu- lar dilatation and no segmental wall

Healthy older subjects compared to young subjects showed decreased parasympathetic activity and increased sympathetic activity at rest, estimated by HRV indices, and consequently,

In the present study, vagal and sympathetic activity during HUT performed with sponta- neous breathing did not seem to differ be- tween the cyclists and sedentary group, con-

To develop and test the compression scheme we used the record from our prototype and a rescaled version of the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database.. The rescaled was made to make the data

Cardiac diseases promote alterations in the autonomic control of the heart, leading to an increase in heart rate and, as a result, a decrease in heart rate variability (HRV).The aim
