Randomized Sham-Controlled Pilot Study of Neurocardiac Function in Patients With Acute Ischaemic Stroke Undergoing Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback

Background: Neurocardiac dysfunction worsens clinical outcome and increases mortality in stroke survivors. We hypothesized that heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback improves neurocardiac function by modulating autonomic nervous system activity after acute ischaemic stroke (AIS).Methods: We rando...
