Abstract
- Sinus arrhythmia (SA) is a physiological event related to the respiratory activity. The aim of this study was to find a relation between SA and different deep breathings. A transductor monitored the chest respiratory movements and a cardiotachometer calculated and plotted the instantaneous heart rate, synchronously during different breathing efforts. In 10 normal subjects a good linear correlation was found between the breathing depth and SA quantifying the relation between the chest receptor activity and SA also with limited chest expansion.
