R-R interval recording lacks sensitivity for early diabetic autonomic neuropathy detection; leaves open its diagnostic utility pending larger prospective studies.
Does R-R interval recording during resting and deep breathing differentiate patients with suspected diabetic polyneuropathy from healthy volunteers?
R-R interval recording during resting and deep breathing did not show significant sensitivity for the early diagnosis of diabetic autonomic neuropathy in this cohort.
