Cardiac autonomic dysfunction in patients with normal tension glaucoma: 24-h heart rate and blood pressure variability analysis.

Abstract

The sympathovagal balance of autonomic nervous system in patients with NTG shifted towards sympathetic activity however with no change of 24-h pattern of BPV as compared to controls.
