Vagal Nerve Stimulation Assessed by the Diving Reflex: An Investigation Into Mechanisms of Asthma Death

Authors
Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2013
The investigators\' hypothesis is that dysregulation of autonomic function, as revealed during a simulated dive reflex, may result in an attenuation of the heart rate response to a greater degree in asthmatics who collapse during exacerbations of asthma than that seen in healthy individuals and in asthmatics without a history of syncope. The investigators will test this by assessing autonomic function through a dive reflex protocol.
