Journal ArticleDOI
Baroreflex sensitivity and heart-rate variability in prediction of total cardiac mortality after myocardial infarction
TL;DR: The ATRAMI study as discussed by the authors provides clinical evidence that after myocardial infarction the analysis of vagal reflexes has significant prognostic value independently of LVEF and ventricular arrhythmias and that it significantly adds to the prognosis value of heartrate variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term heart rate variability strongly predicts sudden cardiac death in chronic heart failure patients.

TL;DR: Reduced short-term LFP during controlled breathing is a powerful predictor of sudden death in patients with CHF that is independent of many other variables, and refine the identification of patients who may benefit from prophylactic implantation of a cardiac defibrillator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baroreflex Sensitivity and Heart Rate Variability in the Identification of Patients at Risk for Life-Threatening Arrhythmias Implications for Clinical Trials
Maria Teresa La Rovere,Gian Domenico Pinna,Stefan H. Hohnloser,Frank I. Marcus,Andrea Mortara,Ryuji Nohara,J. Thomas Bigger,A. John Camm,Peter J. Schwartz +8 more
TL;DR: The Autonomic Tone and Reflexes After Myocardial Infarction (ATRAMI) as discussed by the authors showed that markers of reduced vagal activity, such as depressed baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate variability (HRV), are strong predictors of cardiac mortality after myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baroreflex sensitivity, clinical correlates, and cardiovascular mortality among patients with a first myocardial infarction. A prospective study.
TL;DR: BRS was assessed by calculating the regression line relating phenylephrine-induced increases in systolic blood pressure to the attendant changes in the RR interval and found that a reduced BRS primarily reflects an impairment in the vagal efferent component of the baroreceptor reflexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial Baroreflex Modulation of Heart Rate in Chronic Heart Failure Clinical and Hemodynamic Correlates and Prognostic Implications
Andrea Mortara,Maria Teresa La Rovere,Gian Domenico Pinna,A. Prpa,Roberto Maestri,Oreste Febo,Massimo Pozzoli,Cristina Opasich,Luigi Tavazzi +8 more
TL;DR: In moderate to severe CHF, a depressed sensitivity of vagal reflexes parallels the deterioration of clinical and hemodynamic status and is significantly associated with poor survival.
