Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability Changes in the Intracarotid Sodium Amobarbital Test

Summary:  Purpose: Changes in heart rate and heart rate variability have been found in prior studies performed during the intracarotid sodium amobarbital (ISA) test. However, these results are not entirely consistent with current models of differential cerebral involvement in the modulation of the heart. This study was designed to re‐investigate this topic with a larger N than has heretofore been used.
