Data were individually analyzed as 1-min means during Syncope as well as 5-min means during Base, PRE, and Syncope.<\/p>\n<p>Results: Between-group results revealed that LF and LF\/HF were significantly higher and HF was significantly lower in EXP compared to CON subjects at minutes 1, 2, and 3 during Syncope. Further, RMSSD (CON: 161.1 +\/- 37.0 ms; EXP: 17.5 +\/- 13.3 ms) and pNN50 (CON: 26.4 +\/- 36.3%; EXP: 1.3 +\/- 1.2%) were significantly lower in EXP compared to CON subjects at minute 3 during Syncope. During Syncope, 5-min averages of LF (CON: 46.1 +\/- 13.9 nu; EXP: 77.5 +\/- 6.6 nu) and LF\/HF (CON: 1.0 0.5; EXP: 3.8 +\/- 1.7) were significantly higher, and HF (CON: 53.9 +\/- 13.9 nu; EXP: 22.5 +\/ 1 6.6 nu) was significantly lower in EXP subjects compared to CON.<\/p>\n<p>Discussion: Our findings show that autonomic nervous system modulation leading up to and during accidental syncope induced by heat and orthostatic stress is characterized by an exaggerated suppression of parasympathetic and elevation of sympathetic activity. Thus, elevated LF and LF\/HF, and lower HF, RMSSD, and pNN50 may represent risk factors for accidental syncope.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Full Text Link: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23855068\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23855068\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Line.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1316\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carrillo AE, Cheung SS, Flouris AD.
