Background: Autonomic nervous system dysfunction and reduced heart rate variability (HRV) after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) were reported in patients with coronary artery disease. However, factors related to reduced HRV are not clearly demonstrated. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between HRV indices and the final coronary arterial luminal diameter after PTCA.
