Heart rate recovery in asthmastic children and adolescents after clinical field test.

Background: Inflammation caused by chronic lung disease in childhood may lead to delayed heart rate recovery (HRR) however, there is lack of evidence on HRR in this population. The aim was to assess HRR after functional capacity testing in asthmatic children and adolescents and to compare with severity and disease control.

Method: This was a study secondary to a randomized control trial.
