Abstract:
Spectral analysis of hart rhythm variability makes possible assessment of the state (power) of autonomic innervation of the heart. The reported study was carried out in 40 patients (22 women) with migraine. The studies were done in times between migraine attacks. The control group comprised 62 clinically healthy subjects. In most patients (over 61%) the sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation of the heart was weaker than in healthy subjects and the index of automatic equilibrium in the sinus node was lower than in controls.
