The analysis of post-exercise cardiac autonomic recovery is a practical clinical tool for the
assessment of cardiovascular health. A reduced heart rate recovery – an indicator of …

Objective Most studies investigating the eff ects of non-pharmacological interventions, such
as physical training (PT), on cardiac autonomic control, assessed the HRV only in resting …

Physical exercise potentiates the carotid chemoreflex control of ventilation (VE). Hyperadditive
neural interactions may partially mediate the potentiation. However, some neural …

The prevailing view is that exertional dyspnoea in patients with combined idiopathic pulmonary
fibrosis (IPF) and emphysema (CPFE) can be largely explained by severe hypoxaemia. …

It has been shown that water intake (WI) improves postexercise parasympathetic recovery
after moderateintensity exercise session. However, the potential cardiovascular benefit …

Key points Dysfunction of post‐exercise cardiac autonomic control is associated with
increased mortality risk in healthy adults and in patients with cardiorespiratory diseases. The …

Purpose High cardiac vagal control in endurance athletes has been generally associated
with adequate recovery from training and readiness to cope high-intensity training. A method …

Aim The increased morbidity and mortality in traumatic lower limb amputees can be explained
by the development of risk factors, among which high blood pressure plays an important …

Family history of hypertension is associated with early autonomic dysfunction and increased
oxidative stress. These alterations have been found to be reinforced by the overweight factor…

The baroreflex integrity in early-stage pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) remains
uninvestigated. A potential baroreflex impairment could be functionally relevant and possibly …
