A curvilinear age-related normal range for the Valsalva ratio is presented. Application of this range was used to identify abnormalities in ratios obtained from 59 patients with diabetes mellitus aged 16-60 years. It was found that 35 had normal, 6 had borderline and 18 had abnormal results. Comparison with other autonomic function tests of the cardiovascular and pupillary systems showed that abnormalities of the Valsalva ratio correlated most highly with the sinus arrhythmia test results. Repeat measurements of ratios in healthy and diabetic subjects yielded coefficients of variation of 15.4% and 10.5% respectively.
本文给出了瓦尔萨尔瓦比率与年龄相关的曲线正常范围。应用此范围来识别59例年龄在16至60岁的糖尿病患者所测得的比率异常情况。结果发现,35例结果正常,6例临界,18例异常。与心血管和瞳孔系统的其他自主神经功能测试相比较,发现瓦尔萨尔瓦比率异常与窦性心律失常测试结果的相关性最高。对健康受试者和糖尿病受试者的比率进行重复测量,变异系数分别为15.4%和10.5%。
