RVOTR may impair parasympathetic activity and sympathetic innervation; leaves open links to outcomes and need for monitoring.
How does right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction affect cardiac autonomic nervous activity compared to controls?
Right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction is associated with impaired parasympathetic nervous activity and ventricular sympathetic denervation, though parasympathetic activity improves over time and correlates with aerobic capacity.
Ohuchi et al. (2000) studied this question.
