Association of heart rate variability, blood pressure variability, and baroreflex sensitivity with gastric motility at rest and during cold pressor test.
To understand the mutual interaction of gastric motility and autonomic functions, the present study evaluated the association of heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure variability (BPV), and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) with gastric motility assessed by electrogastrography (EGG) at rest and during CPT and explored the effect of sympathetic activation by cold pressor test (CPT) on gastric motility. ⋯ EGG frequency can be decreased by an acute increase in sympathetic activity induced by CPT. The novel findings are the significant correlations between many of the HRV, BPV, and BRS parameters and EGG frequency.
