[Spontaneous rhythms of the cardiovascular system in autonomic diabetic neuropathy].

There are distinct differences of the visually and computerized investigated immediate heart rate rhythms, mean arterial pressure and skin temperature rhythms between 30 diabetics suffering from peripheral neuropathy and 10 healthy volunteers. The characterized disturbance patterns within the higher and lower frequencies of these cardiovascular rhythms suggest pronounced, but not only circumscribed lesions of the vagal efferences.
