Heart rate variability during the first 48 hours after acute myocardial infarction was assessed in a group of 178 infarction patients among 288 who received thrombolytic therapy. From day one to day two, a significant decrease in all heart rate variability measurements except the low- to high- frequency ratio was noted. Ten patients who died within the first 30 days after infarction had a significantly lower ratio than the survivors. This difference was evident by 24 hours after infarction. Changes in heart rate variability that have prognostic value thus occur early after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.
