Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of inhaled steroids on the heart rate variability in pediatric patients with asthma. Materials and Methods: The study included 17 pediatric patients with asthma using inhaled steroids and a control group of 17 healthy, ageand gender-matched children. A 24-hour Holter monitor was applied and the time domain and frequency domain parameters of heart rate variability were examined. The values were obtained for night, day, and a 24 hour cycle. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between asthmatic children treated with inhaled steroids and the control group in regards to night, day, and whole day values of the time and frequency domain parameters of heart rate variability. Conclusion: There was no change in the variability of heart rate of pediatric asthma patients with symptoms under control by inhaled steroids.
期刊介绍:
Asthma Allergy Immunology has been published three times a year in April, August and December as the official and periodical journal of the Turkish National Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology since 2003. All articles published in the journal have been available online since 2003. A peer reviewed system is used in evaluation of the manuscripts submitted to Asthma Allergy Immunology. The official language of the journal is English. The aim of the journal is to present advances in the field of allergic diseases and clinical immunology to the readers. In accordance with this goal, manuscripts in the format of original research, review, case report, articles about clinical and practical applications and editorials, short report and letters to the editor about allergic diseases and clinical immunology are published in the journal. The target reader population of the Asthma Allergy Immunology includes specialists and residents of allergy and clinical immunology, pulmonology, internal medicine, pediatrics, dermatology and otolaryngology as well as physicians working in other fields of medicine interested in allergy and immunological diseases.
