Title: Cardiovascular reflex tests and the resting heart rate at night and during testing
Abstract: Summary. Possible effects of environmental stress‐induced elevation of the heart rate on the magnitude of cardiovascular autonomic responses were studied in 123 healthy subjects. The nocturnal heart rate was evaluated using ambulatory 24‐h ECG monitoring. Some of the cardiovascular responses were found to be significantly weaker in those subjects whose resting heart rate during testing was >10 beats min ‐1 higher than the resting nocturnal heart rate. It is thus highly important to minimize the environmental disturbances during autonomic testing.
