Reduced heart rate response after premature ventricular contraction depending on severity of atrial fibrillation symptoms – Analysis on heart rate turbulence in atrial fibrillation patients

Background: The severity of symptoms during atrial fibrillation (AF) may be influenced by heart rate and blood pressure variation, due to irregular beats and the related adaptations in baroreflex sensitivity. This study investigated whether heart rate turbulence (HRT) as a reflection of baroreflex s...
