Junctional rhythm may confound HRV-based autonomic assessment during anesthesia; hypothesis-generating case observation needing prospective confirmation.
How does the occurrence of junctional rhythm affect heart rate variability during general anesthesia?
Junctional rhythm during anesthesia causes a marked decrease in heart rate variability, which must be accounted for when evaluating autonomic control of the heart.
Fujiwara et al. (2006) studied this question.
