Why the study?
Does the assessment of synchronization between 0.1 Hz heart rate and peripheral microcirculation oscillations during a tilt test help determine the optimal beta-blocker dose in post-MI patients?

May guide beta-blocker titration via tilt-test synchronization in post-MI patients; hypothesis-generating and needs prospective validation before practice change.
Does the assessment of synchronization between 0.1 Hz heart rate and peripheral microcirculation oscillations during a tilt test help determine the optimal beta-blocker dose in post-MI patients?
Assessment of synchronization between heart rate and peripheral microcirculation oscillations during a tilt test may serve as a physiological guide for optimizing beta-blocker doses in post-MI patients.
