Abstract excerpt
Inhaled supranormal partial pressure of oxygen induces bradycardia and peripheral vasoconstriction. The exact mechanism of the decreasing heart rate is not clear, but the autonomic nervous system is partly involved. In the present study the role of the autonomic nervous system in hyperoxic bradycardia was evaluated by using the power spectral analysis of heart rate variability. Ten healthy volunteers participated...
