[The effect of phonational load on parameters of cardiorespiratory system in hypotonic dysphonia]
Abstract:
Cardiointervalometry was used to investigate functional parameters of the cardiorespiratory system during text reading. A total of healthy women aged from 17 to 28 years and 11 women with hypotonic dysphonia 17 to 31 years of age entered the study. Both groups exhibited a low index of parasympathetic component of cardiorhythm regulation in shortening of the RR-interval. Correlation inhalation/expiration has changed with prolongation of inhalation and shortening of expiration in reading in women suffering from hypotonic dysphonia. Parameters of the respiratory cycle at rest did not correlate with relevant parameters in reading text in both groups.

CHF can occur due to the failure of either side of the heart. Left-side failure leads to pulmonary congestion—the right side continues to send blood...

Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...

Preload
Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...
