Heart rate variability predicts cell death and inflammatory responses to global cerebral ischemia
This study examines the relationship between autonomic functioning and neuropathology following cardiac arrest in mice. Within 24h of cardiac arrest, parasympathetic cardiac control, as indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), rapidly decreases. By day 7 after cardiac arrest, HRV is inversely correl...
