Article Synopsis
- Hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI) affects brain areas crucial for the autonomic nervous system, and researchers aimed to find how heart rate variability (HRV) can predict neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest (CA).
- The study included 199 patients who experienced CA, focusing on the correlation between HRV markers and the severity of brain injury, along with other prognostic indicators like EEG results and pupillary reflexes.
- Findings revealed that patients with better neurological outcomes had significantly higher HRV values, particularly in very low and low frequencies, as well as in the LF/HF ratio, indicating that these HRV measurements may serve as useful predictors for recovery.
