Abstract excerpt
Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) has a strong predictive value in terms of sudden death, as compared to other prognostic criteria, but it has never been previously studied in experimental models of cardiac hypertrophy and failure. However, it has been quantified in rats using Holter monitoring and the peak and trough method of analysis. In normal rats, as in humans, short and long oscillations, sensitive,...
