Asymmetry of the acceleration and deceleration capacity of heart rate is strongly dependent on ventricular premature complexes

Biomed Tech (Berl). 2007 Jun;52(3):264-6. doi: 10.1515/BMT.2007.045.

Abstract

In this letter, we explain the role of acceleration and deceleration capacities as novel risk predictors after myocardial infarction and their relation to the occurrence of ventricular premature complexes.
