Summary

Increase in heart rate (HR) is a normal sympathetic response to body trauma and a common consequence of major surgical procedures,A high resting HR is associated with increased myocardial work that may be detrimental to patients with a marginal myocardial oxygen supply,the aim of this study is To compare between the effects of Acu TENS and low level laser therapy on autonomic and hemodynamic instability after open heart surgery.
