dARI, pulse interval, and SBP variability and cardiac baroreceptor sensitivity for patients with stroke in different OCSP classification groups

PACI /TACI (n=25)LACI (n=21POCI (n=10)
Data are expressed as median and interquartile range; BRS, square root of the ratio of the powers of PI to SBP from spectral analysis; SBP variability , square root of the total power of SBP from spectral analysis; PI variability, square root of the total power of PI from spectral analysis; no significant differences were seen between stroke types for the above parameters.
