Reduced heartbeat-evoked responses in a near-death case report
Journal of Clinical Neurology
We study a case report in which a progressive ventricular fibrillation occurs.
Overall physiological activity measured in EEG and HRV appear deteriorated in the ongoing VF.
Brain-heart interactions as measured with HERs disappear.
The evolving VF causes a deteriorated communication between central and autonomic nervous systems.
These results may support that reduced brain-heart interactions reflect loss of consciousness and overall health state.
