Abstract 23: Lower Heart Rate Variability Associated With Incident Coronary Heart Disease and Death in Post-Menopausal Women [Session Title: Predicting the Future]

Conclusion: In post-menopausal women, lower HRV was associated with a modestly higher, but statistically significant, risk for incident cardiovascular events, including fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction. Factors associated with lower HRV and cardiac autonomic impairment may be candidates for reducing CHD risk, such as better glycemic control and improved physical activity.
