Summary

This explorative prospective study aims to assess the effects of heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV biofeedback) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Furthermore, the investigators aim to examine the impact of the intervention on cardiac autonomic function and further autonomic parameters such as sudomotor (sympathetic perspiratory gland function) and vasomotor function (sympathetic arterial function). Patients testing is going to be conducted at the Department of Neurology, University Hospital Carl Gustave Carus, Dresden, Germany.
