A Comparative Study of Heart Rate Variability between Young Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Female Medical Professionals at Rest Using Frequency Domain Spectral Components
Abstract: Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive index of cardiac autonomic modulation. Menopause causes poor sympathovagal balance that shifts toward sympathetic hyperactivity. Present study compared HRV between young premenopausal and postmenopausal medical professional women at rest using frequency domain spectral components. Materials and Methods: It was a comparative, cross-sectional, observational study. After obtaining ethics committee approval, the study population 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: 'Total Power' was significantly lower (p-value
