  Objective: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. sDyregulation of the autonomic nervous system associated with various pathological conditions often occurs in presence of cardiovascular risk factors. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) may be used to assess autonomic imbalances. The aim of our study is to evaluate the correlation between HRV and the main cardiovascular risk factors in subject who underwent digital ambulatory 24 hours Holter ECG monitoring for clinical investigations. Methods: We evaluated time domain parameters of HRV by Holter ECG monitoring in a large population categorized based on the presence or absence of the major cardiovascular risk factors. Results: We found significant differences in time domain parameters of HRV in patients with and without common .. View More»
