Heart rate variability in chronic pulmonary heart

: Early signs of dysregulation of the cardiovascular system were revealed in 265 patients by studying peripheral vegetative regulation of pacemaker activity of the sinus node by rhythmocardiography with the use of a high-resolution KAP-RK-01 Mikor system (Chelyabinsk). Cardiac rhythm variability suggested impaired peripheral vegetative regulation of sinus node chronotropic function and functional insufficiency of pacemaker cells. Early symptoms of chronic pulmonary heart in patients with persistent asthma were associated with autonomous cardioneuropathy that correlated with structural changes in the heart. Peripheral vegetative dysregulation and functional insufficiency of pacemaker make up a pathogenetic component of cardiac disorder in patients with bronchial asthma. It is concluded that autonomous cardioneuropathy with marked suppression of sympathetic and parasympathetic regulation in the sinus node is an early manifestation of pulmonary heart development.
