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 NCR is attenuated in proportion to the impaired cardiac parasympathetic nervous system and hemodynamics in postoperative complex biventricular CHD patients. In addition to PST, β sensitivity of the sinus node significantly influences the NCR in Fontan patients.

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.
