Supports time-dependent reinnervation restoring LF coherence in long-term HTRs; hypothesis-generating and requires longitudinal outcome studies.
Does the time elapsed after cardiac transplantation affect the coherence between LF oscillations in RR and MSNA?
Cardiac reinnervation after long-term heart transplantation is characterized by a restoration of the coherence between low-frequency oscillations in RR interval and muscle sympathetic nerve traffic.
Borne et al. (2001) studied this question.
