Comparative Study of Heart Rate Variabiliy between Young Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Female Medical Professionals at Resting Supine Posture
Abstract: Background & Objectives: Heart rate variability (HRV) measures the degree of autonomic modulation and sympathovagal balance. Menopause causes an imbalance of the cardiac autonomic nervous control that shifts toward sympathetic predominance. Present study compared HRV in frequency domain spectral components, between young premenopausal and postmenopausal medical professional women in the resting supine posture. Method: It was a comparative, cross-sectional, observational study. After obtaining ethics committee approval, the study population was divided into two groups as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. One group included 40 young premenopausal women aged 18-24 years and the other group included 40 postmenopausal women aged 45-55 years. The power spectrum density for the HRV was calculated in frequency domain by the traditional Fast Fourier transform (FFT) based method. Results: Our study showed that 'Total Power' was significantly lower (p-value
