Effects of Left and Right Pneumonectomy on Time- and Frequency-Domain Parameters of Heart Rate Variability

Morbid cardiac events after pneumonectomy have been attributed to autonornic mechanisms. Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) offers a noninvasive technique to assess modulation of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. There is little data available on the systematic changes in time- and fre...

Description
Summary:Morbid cardiac events after pneumonectomy have been attributed to autonornic mechanisms. Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) offers a noninvasive technique to assess modulation of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. There is little data available on the systematic changes in time- and frequency-domain parameters of HRV in response to pneumonectomy and cardiac plexus neural trauma.
