Does heart rate variability predict hypotension and bradycardia after induction of general anaesthesia in high risk cardiovascular patients?

Summary This study investigated whether heart rate variability predicts haemodynamic events in high risk patients, defined as Revised Cardiac Risk Index score = 3, scheduled for general anaesthesia. Fifty patients underwent baseline measurement of heart rate variability and were then assigned accord...

Description
Summary:Summary This study investigated whether heart rate variability predicts haemodynamic events in high risk patients, defined as Revised Cardiac Risk Index score = 3, scheduled for general anaesthesia. Fifty patients underwent baseline measurement of heart rate variability and were then assigned according to haemodynamic events (hypotension or bradycardia) after standardised induction of anaesthesia into ‘stable’ (n = 39) and ‘unstable’ patients (n = 11). Unstable patients had significantly lower baseline total power. Total power
