Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of cardiac autonomic derangement on gender-associated functional outcome of patients with subacute ischemic stroke undergoing a hospital-based rehabilitation program. The study population included 126 consecutive first-ever stroke survivors (mean age 59•7 ± 11•6 years). Time-domain measures of heart rate variability (HRV) by 24-hour Holter monitoring (HM) were considered in all cases. By the end of the rehabilitation program an unfavorable functional outcome with dependency (Barthel Index score of
