Abstract:
ECG examination and questionnaires survey were performed among lead-exposed workers in order to assess whether moderate occupational lead exposure may cause autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction. The tests included; 1. heart-rate response to Valsalva manoeuvre (HR-V); 2. heart-rate variation during deep breathing (HR-DB); 3. immediate heart-rate response to immediate stand up (30:15 or Max:Min). The results did not show any evidence that lead exposure is related to ANS dysfunction. There was no significant difference between the exposed workers and controls who were with the same ages (P > 0.05). The important cause for ANS dysfunction was aging.

01:19Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate...
01:31Regulation of Heart Rates
The SNS increases heart rate through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which act on beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action increases the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's...
