Qualitative and Quantitative Electrocardiogram Parameters in a Large Cohort of Children with Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy in Comparison with Age-Matched Healthy Subjects: A Study from South India.

Background: Electrocardiography (ECG) remains an excellent screening tool for cardiac assessment in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but an accurate interpretation requires comparison with age-matched healthy controls.

Objective: We examined various ECG parameters in children with DMD, in comparison with age-matched controls.

Methods: Standard 12-lead ECG tracings of serial patients were screened for quality and selected.

Effects of an 18-Week Integrated Yoga Program on Cardiac Autonomic Function in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Adjuvant Chemotherapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Cardiotoxicity is a commonly observed adverse effect seen in breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing chemotherapy with attributes toward cardiac autonomic dysfunction (CAD). Yoga, a mind-body system of medicine that has been shown to improve cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity in various health conditions, could be an effective adjuvant approach in addressing CAD.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the protective effects of Integrated Yoga Therapy (IYT) on ANS functioning, assessed using Heart rate variability (HRV) in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Neuro-Cardio-Autonomic Modulations in Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Background And Objective: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a degenerative X-linked muscle disease. Death frequently results from complications in cardiopulmonary systems. Preclinical/early diagnosis of cardiac autonomic abnormalities may aid initiate cardioprotective therapy and enhance prognosis.
