The heart rate variability changes in measles, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2 infections; a subtle autonomic involvement - a pilot study
Our study showed a significant decrease in HRV parameters in patients with measles and HIV, with a more stable autonomic response in mild-moderate COVID-19 forms. A correlation between inflammation and markers of sympathetic dominance was found in patients with measles and HIV but not in COVID-19. Further studies may assess the relation between inflammation in viral infections and subtle changes in HRV parameters.
