Abstract

Previous studies have suggested that depressed heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) are associated with early mortality and morbidity in patients with acute brain injuries of various etiologies. The aim of the present study was to assess changes in HRV and BRS in isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI), with the hypothesis that measurement of autonomic nervous system dysfunction can provide prognostic information on late neurological outcome.
