May signal persistent autonomic dysfunction in post-acute TBI; leaves open whether HRV monitoring aids risk stratification or management.
Is abnormal heart-rate variability present in patients with traumatic brain injury during the post-acute recovery phase compared to controls?
Patients with traumatic brain injury exhibit abnormalities in both time and frequency domains of heart-rate variability during the post-acute recovery phase, indicating altered autonomic balance.
Samuel W. King (1997) studied this question.
