A Comparative Study on Cardiovascular Autonomic Function Tests Indices between Young Healthy Males and Females
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Several earlier tudies have reported that gender influences cardiovascular autonomic reactivity among adult. So present study was initiated and an attempt was made to bring out the association of autonomic functions with gender. This study was carried out in 50 male and 50 female subjects of western Rajasthan, between the age group of 18 and 30 year at Department of Physiology, Dr. S. N. Medical College, Jodhpur, Rajasthan using CANWin, a window based cardiac autonomic neuropathy analysis system with interpretation. Each of the participants performed 4 parasympathetic function test and 2 sympathetic test total six noninvasive cardiovascular autonomic function tests in series after excluding the systemic diseases by clinical evaluation. The parasympathetic activity of ANS was compared by resting heart rate, 30:15 ratio, E:I ratio and valsalva maneuver. Sympathetic activity was compared by blood pressure response to standing and blood pressure response to sustained handgrip exercise(SHG).The result on comparison of various autonomic function tests amongst males and females in same age group suggested that the parasympathetic activity is higher in females as evident from E:I ratio(statistically highly significant ) and while sympathetic activity is higher in males as evident from blood pressure response to standing and blood pressure response to sustained handgrip exercise (statistically significant p-value).
