Abstract

Objective: It has been documented that impaired heart rate variability (HRV) is related to life threatening arrhythmias in children with surgically repaired congenital heart disease. We aimed to analyze the balance of the cardiac autonomic functions by assessing HRV in children with arterial switch operation (ASO).
