Key result
Bronchial carcinoma was associated with altered cardiovascular autonomic function, including higher resting heart rate (p<0.05) and greater postural fall in blood pressure (p<0.01) versus controls.
Why the study?
Does bronchial carcinoma affect cardiovascular autonomic function compared to age and sex matched controls?
Population
69 patients with histologically proved bronchial carcinoma and age and sex matched controls
Comparison
Bronchial carcinoma (exposure) vs Age and sex matched controls
Design
Case-control

May warrant autonomic monitoring in bronchial carcinoma patients; case-control data leaves open causality and needs prospective confirmation.
Case-Control (n=69)
Does bronchial carcinoma affect cardiovascular autonomic function compared to age and sex matched controls?
p-value: p=<0.01
Bronchial carcinoma is associated with abnormal cardiovascular autonomic function, including higher resting heart rate and greater postural blood pressure fall, independent of age.
L. P. Garrod (1955) conducted a case-control in Bronchial carcinoma (n=69). Bronchial carcinoma vs. Age and sex matched controls was evaluated on Cardiovascular autonomic function (resting heart rate, resting supine blood pressure, postural fall in blood pressure) (p=<0.01). Bronchial carcinoma was associated with altered cardiovascular autonomic function, including higher resting heart rate (p<0.05) and greater postural fall in blood pressure (p<0.01) versus controls.
