Background. Previous studies in different clinical settings have established heart rate
variability (HRV) as a significant independent risk factor for higher mortality and cardiac …

Background. Although decreased heart rate variability (HRV) is an independent predictor of
death in various populations, its prognostic value in patients with end‐stage renal disease …

BACKGROUND: In patients with renal failure on hemodialysis cardiovascular disease is a
major cause of death. It has been reported that diminished heart rate variability (HRV) …

Background. Heart rate variability (HRV), a noninvasive measure of autonomic dysfunction
and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), has not been systematically studied in …

Background End-stage renal disease is associated with reduced heart rate variability (HRV),
components of which generally are associated with advanced age, diabetes mellitus and left …

Aim Autonomic dysfunction contributes to cardiovascular morbidity/mortality and can be
evaluated with heart rate variability (HRV). This study is to evaluate the prognostic …

Background Heart rate variability (HRV), a non-invasive measurement of the sympathetic-
vagal balance, has been demonstrated as a predictor of long-term survival in various patient …

Background. Heart rate variability parameters were evaluated in 10 healthy subjects, 10 type
II diabetic patients and 20 end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients (11 non‐diabetic and …

A common cause of death in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis is sudden
cardiac death (SCD). Compared to the general population, the percentage of cardiovascular …

Abstract Background/Aims: Heart rate variability (HRV) has been linked to mortality in
maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients, but it is less clear whether HRV is associated with …
