Autoantibodies to the -Adrenoceptor from Patients with Periodontitis as a Risk Factor for Cardiac Dysfunction
Figure 2
(a) Heart rate variability long-term standard deviation (SDNN) index in 20 patients with periodontitis (group I) and in 20 normal individuals (group II). (b) Correlation between values of the SDNN index and titers of serum anti-β 1-AR peptide IgG. The SDNN index was plotted as a function of serum titers of anti-β 1-AR peptide IgG corresponding to the same patients.
