PY - 2016 DA - 2016/02/11 TI - The influence of inhaled multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the autonomic nervous system JO - Particle and Fibre Toxicology SP - 8 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - Heart rate and cardiovascular function are regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Heart rate variability (HRV) as a marker reflects the activity of autonomic nervous system. The prognostic significance of HRV in cardiovascular disease has been reported in clinical and epidemiological studies. The present study focused on the influence of inhaled multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on autonomic nervous system by HRV analysis.
