Why the study?
Does the dominant frequency of the baro-oscillatory phenomenon (BOP) measured via spectral analysis of RR intervals differ between diabetic patients and control subjects?

BOP spectral analysis may support autonomic assessment in diabetes; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does the dominant frequency of the baro-oscillatory phenomenon (BOP) measured via spectral analysis of RR intervals differ between diabetic patients and control subjects?
Measurement of the BOP frequency via spectral analysis is a useful, passive supplementary method for assessing cardiovascular autonomic function in diabetic patients.
Lanting et al. (1990) studied this question.
