Özet

Background: Autonomic nervous system disturbance and cardiovascular disorders may be underestimated causes of falls. Heart rate turbulence (HRT), heart rate variability (HRV) and QT dynamicity parameters are noninvasive cardiac autonomic activity markers. The aim of this study was to evaluate autonomic cardiovascular markers in falling older adults.
