The effect of an orthostatic stress on cardiovascular and respiratory complexity was investigated to detect impaired autonomic regulation in patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS). A total of 16 female patients and 12 age-matched healthy female subjects were enrolled in a passive 70° head-up tilt test. Also, 12 age-matched healthy male subjects were enrolled to study gender differences. Analysis was performed dynamically using various short-term (5 min) windows shifted by 1 min as well as by 20 min of orthostatic phase (OP) to evaluate local and global complexity...
