Autonomic nervous system response to a solid meal and water loading in healthy children: its relation to gastric myoelectrical activity

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of gastric myoelectrical and autonomic activities in healthy children. Simultaneous recordings of electrogastrography (EGG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) were performed in healthy children before and after a solid meal and water loading respecti...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of gastric myoelectrical and autonomic activities in healthy children. Simultaneous recordings of electrogastrography (EGG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) were performed in healthy children before and after a solid meal and water loading respectively. The autonomic activity was assessed by spectral analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV). The solid meal resulted in an increase in EGG‐dominant frequency (2.92 cpm vs 3.16 cpm, P
