Risk Factors Associated with Cardiac Autonomic Modulation in Obese Individuals

Cardiac Autonomic Modulation in children and Preadolescents obese

To understand this problem, irstly we need to know that the sinoatrial node, responsible for generating electrical impulses that will turn into myocardial contraction is in luenced by the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system increase the blood pressure and heart rate (HR) and the parasympathetic nerves reduce the blood pressure and HR. So, the heart b...

Analysis of cardiac autonomic modulation in obese and eutrophic children

INTRODUCTION Obesity causes alterations in cardiac autonomic function. However, there are scarce and conflicting data on this function with regard to heart rate variability in obese children. OBJECTIVE To compare the autonomic function of obese and eutrophic children by analyzing heart rate variability. METHODS One hundred twenty-one children (57 male and 64 female) aged 8 to 12 years were ...

Pnm-4: Risk Factors Associated with Infertility

Background Infertility is the inability to conceive children after one year of unprotected intercourse. The estimated prevalence of infertility in Canada is 11.5-15.7%. Fertility problems affect approximately one in seven couples in the United Kingdom (UK). Infertility occurs in conditions in which the pregnancies end with recurrent miscarriages (ASR) or birth of a child with multiple congenita...

Cardiac Autonomic Functions in Obese Children

OBJECTIVE The autonomic nervous system is assumed to have a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. In this study, we evaluated the autonomic system by measuring heart rate variability (HRV) in obese children. METHODS Thirty-two obese and 30 healthy children (mean ages: 11.6±2.0 years and 11.0±2.9 years, respectively) were enrolled in the study. Obesity was defined as a body mass index higher...
