Evaluation of Autonomic Nervous Function Using Heart Rate Variability Tests at a High-Complexity Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia

Project Details

Description

Introduction: The assessment of autonomic nervous function is essential for understanding and managing a variety of medical conditions, including cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Heart rate variability (HRV) has been established as a fundamental tool in this assessment, reflecting the adaptability of the autonomic nervous system to different stimuli and situations.

Objective

To describe the characteristics of the evaluation of autonomic function by means of cardiac variability tests in patients attended in a high level hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.

Key findings

It is expected that the results will contribute to improving the understanding of autonomic response in the local population, establishing a baseline reference for future research. Additionally, the study will help identify normal and altered patterns in autonomic function, which could facilitate the early detection of autonomic disorders and enhance diagnostic and monitoring capabilities in cardiovascular and neurological conditions. The findings will serve as a foundation for future epidemiological and clinical research in the Colombian population
