Their study showed that a HR recovery time above 3 min after the 6MWT is an independent risk factor for cardiac events in HF patients [23]. The study of Swigris et al. proved that abnormal HR recovery is associated with right heart catheterization-confirmed pulmonary hypertension [19]. The...

These findings persisted even after excluding patients who had taken vasoactive drugs. Thus, restricting peripheral blood flow was associated with MAP recovery during PSVT, but not VT. This indicates that AP recovery depends on the type of tachyarrhythmia: different cardiac output and/or ...
