Autonomic Tone in Branches of the Respiratory-Hemodynamic System of Junior Schoolchildren

摘要

Periodic variations in the cardiac, vascular, and respiratory branches of the respiratory-hemody-namic system (RHDS) were studied in children 8-11 years of age at rest using spectral analysis. By analogy with studying the autonomous regulation of the cardiac rhythm, the averaged pattern of the autonomic tone (BAT) was determined in all RHDS branches. We aimed at studying various combinations of the autonomic balance (AB) in the same pattern and identifying individual typological peculiarities of the BAT patterns of the RHDS. Groups of children with different autonomic RHDS patterns were determined using cluster analysis; these groups differed significantly in many spectral and hemodynamic parameters.
