Increased sympathetic activity is believed to be an important trigger of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT) and is believed to be responsible for the increased heart rate that we and others have reported before the onset of spontaneous VT. However, in the patients reported herein, heart rate variability (HRV) indexes that reflect sympathetic activity unexpectedly declined, whereas heart rate increased. To explain this apparent paradoxic behavior, we tested the hypothesis that baseline levels of HRV determine its reaction to short-term autonomic perturbations before the onset of VT.
