Heart rate variability analysis in patients with multiple sclerosis

These findings reveals that our study population with multiple sclerosis had decreased heart rate variability compared to healthy controls. This was reflected by dysfunction of both parasympathetic and sympathetic parameters of hearth rate variability analysis. However, there is no significant relationship between hearth rate variability analysis and the findings on cranial, cervical, thoracic spinal magnetic resonance imaging findings, number of attack, Expanded Disability Status Scale score or Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite scores in patients with multiple sclerosis.
