Changes in the low-frequency (LF) components of blood pressure and heart rate variability and in the ratio of LF to high-frequency (HF) components of heart rate variability (LF/HF ratio...

...Isabelle Constant; Arlette Girard; Jérôme Le Bidois; Elizabeth Villain; Dominique Laude; Jean-Luc Elghozi 1. The aim of the study was to examine the short-term variability in blood pressure and heart rate in 19 children who had received heart transplants and in eight normal control children. 2...

...J. P. Jamison; R. K. McKinley 1. The aim of this study was to determine the validity of various numerical indices of peak flow variability as tests for asthma. 2. Normal ( n = 24) and asthmatic ( n = 123) subjects aged 10-70 years were recruited from the community. Asthma was diagnosed by full...

The results of this study indicate that inter-individual variability is generally greater than intra-individual variability. Diastolic blood pressure was the most sensitive as well as the least...

...) to determine the range of variability in resting metabolic rate in cystic fibrosis, (ii) to relate this to pulmonary function and body size, and (iii) to investigate the hypothesis that, in cystic fibrosis, genotype exerts a significant influence on energy requirements. 2. There was no significant difference...
