U.S., July 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07735312) titled 'Effects of Periodontitis on Heart Rate Variability' on July 10.
Brief Summary: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with systemic inflammatory burden and possible alterations in autonomic nervous system regulation. Heart rate variability (HRV) has been used as a noninvasive method to assess autonomic modulation and may reflect sympathovagal imbalance associated with inflammatory conditions.
This case-control study aims to investigate the association between periodontitis and autonomic modulation assessed by HRV parameters. In addition, the study will evaluate the association between periodontal clinical parame...
