OP-090 Assessment of Cardiac Autonomic Functions by Heart Rate Recovery Indices in Patients with Myocardial Bridge




Objective


Heart rate (HR) recovery (HRR) reflects autonomic activity and predicts cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to assess HRR in patients with myocardial bridge (MB).




Methods


Medical recordings of 93 patients with MB and age, sex-matched 78 healthy subjects were analyzed. MB was diagnosed via coronary computed tomography angiography after a positive exercise stress test (EST). HRR indices were calculated by subtracting 1st (HRR1), 2nd (HRR2) and 3rd (HRR3) minute HR from the maximal HR during EST.
