Heart rate variability (HRV) provides indirect insight into autonomic nervous system tone,
and has a well-established role as a marker of cardiovascular risk. Recent decades brought …

Background and Purpose—The purpose of this statement is to delineate basic expectations
regarding primary palliative care competencies and skills to be considered, learned, and …

Sudden death is an important but widely under-recognised consequence of stroke. Acute
stroke can disturb central autonomic control, resulting in myocardial injury …

This cutting-edge reference examines how beat-to-beat variations in heart rate and blood
pressure provide a window into the health of the autonomic nervous system. The book …

Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive measure of the function of the
autonomic nervous system, and its dynamic nature may provide a means through which …

Blood pressure variability based on office measurement predicts outcome in selected
patients. We explored whether novel indices of blood pressure variability derived from the …

Background and Purpose—Prediction of stroke in healthy individuals is challenging and
there is a diurnal variation of stroke onset. We hypothesized that heart rate variability with a …

We investigated the effects of regular walking in green and suburban environments on heart
rate variability (HRV) and blood pressure (BP) in middle-aged adults. Twenty-three adults …

Background and Purpose—Central autonomic dysfunction increases stroke morbidity and
mortality. We aimed to investigate whether poststroke autonomic dysfunction graded by …

Orthostatic challenge produced by upright posture may lead to syncope if the cardiovascular
system is unable to maintain adequate brain perfusion. This review outlines orthostatic …
