Abstract
Our results show that 1) adrenergic blockade alters the sympathovagal balance; 2) adrenergic blockers enhance the complexity of the cardiac dynamics; 3) the adrenergic blockade effect on cardiac dynamics is primarily the attenuation of small fluctuations in RR intervals. Fractal analysis also has the potential to be applied to early QT diagnosis.
