Description The study was designed as an individual correlation test of HRV parameters to echocardiographical values. Probands: 85 girls and boys after oncological treatment by doxorubicin and/or cyclophosphamid; aging 7-29 years. Heart rate (beat to beat) was monitored during 5 minutes of vertical position, and in upright position. The echocardiographical measurement was performed in a rest and after dynamic exercise. Therefore we believe that HRV analysis, as an instrumental, timing and personal less demanding method, can be used for cardiomyopathy screening in oncological paediatric patients before exercise and sport practise.
