Autonomic function following myocardial infarction

A Turner et al. Br J Hosp Med. 1994 Feb.

Abstract

There is evidence that impaired autonomic function is a significant risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death following myocardial infarction. Measurement of heart rate variability and assessment of baroreflex sensitivity can identify patients at high risk from arrhythmic complications postinfarction and may become useful in risk stratification and management.
