Özet

Aims Heart rate (HR) recovery (HRR), defined as the rate of decline in the HR immediately following the cessation of exercise, is influenced by autonomic function. Heart rate recovery in heart failure (HF) has been shown to correlate with severity of HF. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves cardiac autonomic functions in HF. We aimed to evaluate the effects of CRT on cardiac autonomic function assessed by HRR.
