Factor Information
Data ID 3575
Factor PST (cardiac parasympathetic nervous tone) (bpm)
Description In Fontan patients, the lower β sensitivity of the sinus node and the PST mainly determined the higher cNCR ( p<0.01) and the cNCR did not correlate with either hemodynamics or exercise capacity.
Biomarker NA
Classification E10 (physiological factor - other)
Association
Application treatment and prognosis
Objective To investigate the negative chronotropic response (NCR) to low-dose atropine in postoperative patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).
p Value <0.001
Conclusion PST and cPST were also lower in the CHD groups, especially in the complex and Fontan patients and were proportionally decreased according to the exercise capacity.

Title Negative chronotropic response to low-dose atropine is associated with parasympathetic nerve-mediated cardiovascular response in postoperative patients with congenital heart disease.
Sample
Population All (9-36 years)
Source patients
Region Osaka, Japan
Method NCR corrected for basal heart rate (HR) (minimal HR/basal HR=cNCR) was determined after low-dose atropine (3 Ag/kg) administration and was compared with the cardiac autonomic nervous and functional status.
