Features of the autonomic nervous system in patients with myocardial infarction

A study of the performance of the cardiovascular system of patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction showed that sympathotonia prevails in the right-handed group, and vagotonia prevails in the left-handed group. Consequently, the functional state of the cardiovascular system of patients with different types of hemispheric asymmetry who have suffered a myocardial infarction is due to the activity of different parts of the autonomic nervous system, which must be taken into account when developing methods of physical rehabilitation.
