Abstract:
Objective To investigate the significance of the changes in heart rate variability (HRV) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft procedure Methods Thirty six patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass were studied HRV was monitored by HXD I monitoring system one day prior to surgery (as baseline values), before anesthesia, at the end of surgery and on the 3rd day and 6th day after surgery Results The baseline logical values for total power(TP), low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), LF/HF ratio were 3 07?0 35, 2 38?0 47, 2 37?0 54 and 1 34?0 93 respectively There were no significant changes in all these parameters before anesthesia as compared to baseline values LF,HF and TP decreased significantly on the 3rd day after surgery as compared with baseline values, and were kept at the level on the 6th postoperative day Conclusions The decrease in HRV power can last over 6 days after coronary bypass graft surgery, signifying reduced autonomous regulation of heart in the early postoperative days
