Morning heart rate variability showed stronger associations with nocturnal blood pressure characteristics in males and daytime blood pressure characteristics in females.
How does morning heart rate variability associate with ambulatory blood pressure characteristics in young adults?
There are potential sex differences in how cardiac-autonomic function associates with blood pressure regulation throughout the day in young adults.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
<0.05). Our findings indicate potential sex differences in how cardiac-autonomic function associates with BP regulation throughout the day. In males, HRV showed stronger associations with nocturnal BP characteristics, whereas in females, HRV associations were more pronounced with daytime BP.
