Abstract
Heart rate variability was studied in a group of 66 newborn infants for periods of up to 72 h from birth. Long-term variability was reduced in infants suffering from the idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome; this was more marked with severe respiratory distress requiring mechanical ventilation. Persistent reduction in long-term variability was associated with increased mortality. Reduction in heart rate variability may be due to high levels of sympathetic activity.Keywords
