Does spectral analysis of heart rate and arterial blood pressure improve the evaluation of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis?

Population

20 patients with multiple sclerosis

Intervention

Standard autonomic tests (heart rate response to deep breathing, change in systolic blood pressure due to tilt) and spectral analysis of heart rate, arterial blood pressure, and associated transfer function analysis

Outcome

Diagnostic value for cardiovascular autonomic dysfunctionsurrogate

Spectral analysis of heart rate and arterial blood pressure oscillations may improve the pathophysiological interpretation of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis.
