چکیده

In this paper we investigate the influence of vagal blockage on heart rate variability complexity measures. Nine conscious rats are injected with methyl-scopolamine brobide (50 μg/kg s.c.). We analyze 10 minute segments of beat-to-beat intervals before and after injection by standard time and frequency domain methods, compression entropy, sample entropy, Poincaré plot, detrended fluctuation analysis and symbolic dynamics. All parameter domains show changes in heart rate variability after vagal blockade, indicating a decrease in heart rate complexity. In conclusion, vagal modulation plays an important role in the generation of heart complexity in rats or, in other words, heart rate complexity measures are sensitive to vagal heart rate modulation. Keywords— heart rate variability, complexity, vagal block-

Effect of endotoxemia on heart rate dynamics in rat isolated perfused hearts

Introduction: Beat-to-beat variation in heart rate shows a complex dynamics, and this complexity is changed during systemic inflammatory response syndrome (e.g. sepsis). It is not known whether or not cardiac pacemaker dynamical rhythm is affected by sepsis. The aim of this study was to investigate heart rate dynamics of isolated heart as well as expression of pacemaker channels (HCN) in a r...

Intraindividual validation of heart rate variability indexes to measure vagal effects on hearts.

Heart rate variability (HRV) has been widely used as a measure of vagal activation in physiological, psychological, and clinical examinations. We studied the within-subject quantitative relationship between HRV and vagal effects on the heart in different body postures during a gradually decreasing vagal blockade. Electrocardiogram and respiratory frequency were measured in subjects (8 endurance...

Capsaicin Increases Modulation of Measurement Using Power SpectralSympathetic Analysis ofNerve Actiyity in Rats : Heart Rate Fluctuations

We assessed the sympatho-vagal actiyities of the heart after administration of capsalcin by measuring the pewer spectral analysis in rats. There were major two frequency components of heart rate variability, which we defined as high (1.0 Hz < , HF) and low (LF, <1.0 Hz) frequency components. Vagal blockade by atropine abo)ished the high frequency component, and lowered the amplitude of the low ...

Background and purpose: Fluctuations in the heart rate can be affected by many factors such as breathing. The amplitude of heart rate variability during inhalation and exhalation provides a quantitative measure that puts the estimate of cardiac vagal function which is considered. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a single dose of hyoscine-N-butylbromide (hyoscine) on the am...

Background and purpose:Squatting test and heart rate variability (HRV) are currently being used to evaluate cardiovascular autonomic nervous function. HRV indexes are able to measure vagal function, while squatting test is able to measure both sympathetic and vagal functions. Our objective in this research is to evaluate the influence of injective dicyclomine hydrochloride (DCH)-an M1 recepto...
