Popis: Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) is calculated by electrocardiography (ECG-HRV) or blood pressure (BP-HRV). The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of the above methods in rats with normal and ischemic hearts during the baroreflex maneuver. Methods: The study was conducted at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran, in 2021. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a sham group and an isoproterenol-mediated cardiac ischemia (ISO) group. Saline and isoproterenol (150 mg/kg) injected subcutaneously for 2 consecutive days in the sham and ISO groups, respectively. Then, the animals were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of sodium thiopental (60 mg/kg), and the femoral artery and vein were cannulated. Baroreflex was activated using an intravenous injection of phenylephrine (10 µg/100 µL saline). ECG, BP, and heart rate (HR) were recorded, and the time domain of HRV and baroreflex gain were calculated. Results: Baroreflex gain in the ISO group (male, weight=275.8±2.8 g, n=8) was lower than that in the sham group (male, weight=258±2.3 g, n=8) (P
