Repeatability of Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Responses to Standard Autonomic Reflex Test over A Five Day Period
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
The repeatability of the cardiovascular responses to reflex tests has been the subject of several studies. We have studied heart rate and blood pressure response to mental arithmetic. Mental arithmetic has used as means of assessing cardiovascular autonomic reactivity to mental load. Ten healthy subjects were recruited for the mental arithmetic task. Same task was repeated by the same individuals for 5 successive days. Reliability or reproducibility of the mental task responses was measured using the intraclass correlation coefficient. We observed a significant declining trend in heart rate response to mental arithmetic task. It shows that the individuals become more and more familiar with a particular task if it is carried out repeatedly.
