Meanings of vagal activity in English

Evidence has accumulated that in chronic heart failure vagal activity is decreased.

Heart rate and sinus arrhythmia gap were used to express vagal activity indirectly.

Group comparisons on vagal activity were controlled for age and body mass index.

An inhibition of efferent vagal activity may contribute to the inhibitory effect of GLP-1 on gastric emptying.

Thus, the circadian rhythmicity of vagal activity seems to have an important role in the genesis of NSVT.

These alterations included low vagal activity, elevated sympathetic activity, and low complexity and adaptability in heart rate control dynamics.

By exploiting the spectral paradigm of heartbeat dynamics, cortical and sub-cortical areas functionally linked to vagal activity have been identified.

At rest, vagal activity dominates while during different forms of stress the activated sympathetic nervous system markedly modulates secretions and motility.

As vagal activity increases, the nervous system slows down, heart rate and blood pressure decrease, and your brain waves show relaxation.

Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess the hypothesis that transdermal scopolamine would increase vagal activity in patients after myocardial infarction.
