This observational study evaluated the effects of type 2 diabetes on cerebral vasoregulation and functional outcomes, measured by blood flow responses to hypocapnia and hypercapnia, Valsalva maneuver, head-up tilt, and sit-to-stand test. (physionet.org)
Reduced BRS is shown to herald the future occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and helps in risk stratification AIM: To assess BRS at rest and during the Valsalva maneuver among apparently healthy male offspring (age 18-35 years) of hypertensive patients. (bvsalud.org)
RESULTS: We found that BRS at rest and BRS during the Valsalva maneuver were reduced among healthy male offspring of hypertensive parents than in healthy male offspring of non-hypertensive parents. (bvsalud.org)
The patients underwent heart rate and blood pressure analysis during the Valsalva maneuver, deep breathing, active standing, and head-up tilt table test if active standing was tolerated. (bvsalud.org)
For the Valsalva maneuver , you will breathe out forcefully through a mouthpiece while your nose is pinched shut. (medlineplus.gov)
Common maneuvers that activate the vagus nerve include the Valsalva maneuver and carotid sinus massage, which can serve diagnostic or therapeutic functions. (wikipedia.org)
Diagnostic: Vagal maneuvers (most commonly the Valsalva maneuver) can be used to distinguish between ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia by slowing the rate of conduction at the SA or AV nodes. (wikipedia.org)
Whereas the modified Valsalva maneuver is most effective in adults, cold water immersion may be preferred as a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment for pediatric SVT. (wikipedia.org)
His research contributed significantly in the pharmacological and physiological dissection of the Valsalva maneuver. (mayo.edu)
This shows trends over time and it shows particularly short-term trends like for the Valsalva maneuver, it's perfect for that, but actual blood pressure for the analysis if someone has orthostatic hypotension or not, I would never rely on this and I always go with a manual blood pressures.

Head-up tilt6
We aimed to evaluate autonomic dysfunction over time and the tolerability of the head-up tilt table test in an acute stroke setting to optimize patient care. (bvsalud.org)
The head-up tilt table test revealed 7 patients (10%) with orthostatic hypotension. (bvsalud.org)
Head-up tilt table test may be used in patients who tolerate active standing. (bvsalud.org)
BACKGROUND: Standard autonomic testing includes a 10-minute head-up tilt table test to detect orthostatic hypotension. (bvsalud.org)
n=32) were retrospectively compared with controls (n=114) with normal head-up tilt table test and composite autonomic scoring scale score of 0. (bvsalud.org)
Mr. Sletten: This is where two technicians are extremely important for the head up tilt. (autonomiceducation.com)
Vagal3
Further, HRV indices and Valsalva ratio showed a sympathovagal imbalance in the form of decreased vagal and increased sympathetic activity. (bvsalud.org)
Symptoms are described: functional tests and study methods at cardiovascular level : sympathetic, vasomotor (noradrenergic) and cardiac vagal (cholinergic) and sweating tests: sudomotor sympathetic (cholinergic). (journalofneuropsychiatry.cl)
In this Article we will describe symptoms and functional cardiovascular tests: sympathetic vasomotor (noradrenergic), cardiac vagal (cholinergic) and sympathetic sweating tests (cholinergic). (journalofneuropsychiatry.cl)
Syncope3
In cases of unexplained syncope, provocative testing and prolonged electrocardiographic monitoring strategies can be diagnostic. (aafp.org)
Patients who present with presyncope should be evaluated similarly to those who present with syncope. (aafp.org)

Usefulness of autonomic functional tests in the study of various neurological pathologies is described. (journalofneuropsychiatry.cl)
Breaths1
For a deep breathing test , you will take slow, deep breaths for one minute. (medlineplus.gov)
Baseline4
To understand the effect of epilepsy on the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the autonomic functions in patients with epilepsy can be evaluated both during seizures and in their baseline state, also known as the interictal state. (medscape.com)
RESULTS: Changes in baseline systolic blood pressure at late phase 2 (∆SBPVM2), heart rate difference between baseline and phase 3 (∆HRVM3), and Valsalva ratio were lower and pressure recovery time (PRT) at phase 4 was longer in late-onset dOH patients than in controls. (bvsalud.org)
What we would normally do is Jade would be supine, for, through the Q-Sweat, deep breathing, and Valsalva so we would have already had our baseline for that. (autonomiceducation.com)
Mr. Sletten: We normally take blood pressures at one-minute and four-minutes and the baseline just to know what we're doing right before we tilt them up and then once we've tilted them we'll take them at 30 seconds, 1, 2, 3 minutes and then 5 minutes, 7, 9 depending upon how long that tilt is.

Diagnostic3
Despite these serious public health implications, after 3 decades, we still do not know what causes ME/CFS nor do we have established objective diagnostic tests or a single FDA-approved treatment ( 6 ). (frontiersin.org)
Laboratory testing and neuroimaging have a low diagnostic yield and should be ordered only if clinically indicated. (aafp.org)
Aortic stenosis is typically diagnosed through a combination of physical exams, medical history review, and diagnostic testing. (prime-cardiology.com)
Orthostatic hypotension1
Although this test can detect delayed orthostatic hypotension (dOH) between 3 and 10 minutes of standing, it cannot detect late-onset dOH after 10 minutes of standing. (bvsalud.org)
Clinical2
Each consultant has considerable experience in evaluating and treating people with complex neurological disorders, and each has individual clinical and research interests and expertise. (mayo.edu)
A joint evaluation of clinical findings and autonomic functional tests allow to determine the anatomic level and the severity degree of the autonomic dysfunction with a physiopathologic base. (journalofneuropsychiatry.cl)
Ultrasound2
Specifically, this proposal evaluated the effects of diabetic autonomic neuropathy with OH on cerebral vasoregulation using transcranial Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3 Tesla. (physionet.org)
Gastric emptying rate (GER) was calculated by real time ultrasound following a test meal. (bmj.com)
Blood6
Heart rate variability (HRV) during rest and during certain standardized tests and blood pressure (BP) response to certain challenges comprise the basis. (medscape.com)
Medical history, MRI questionnaire and pre-tests (vital signs, anthropometric measurements, transcranial Doppler (TCD) window, autonomic test and blood draw) were performed. (physionet.org)
These tests measure your heart rate and blood pressure while doing certain types of breathing. (medlineplus.gov)
For both tests, a provider will place electrodes on your chest and a small blood pressure cuff on your finger. (medlineplus.gov)
If we didn't, depending upon the protocol, either 5 or 10 minutes, sometimes up to 20 in the supine position, then what we would do is we would tilt that up to 70 degrees, monitor that heart rate and blood pressure for 5 minutes or 10 minutes depending upon the referring indication. (autonomiceducation.com)
Autonomic dysfunction1
In the acute state the prevalence of autonomic dysfunction varied between 10-100% depending on the test. (bvsalud.org)
Heart rate2
The RR interval, in other words the beat-to-beat fluctuations of the heart rate also known as NN intervals, has been evaluated using certain statistical indicators. (medscape.com)
We measured basic anthropometric parameters (height, weight, waist circumference), cardiovascular parameters (heart rate and BP), short-term heart rate variability, and BRS (at rest and during Valsalva). (bvsalud.org)
