Cardiovascular responses with valsalva maneuver during activities of daily livings in healthy adults. National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine. 2010 Apr-Jun; 1(2): 6-11.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/152748Purpose of Study: To measure CV responses in SLF, and SQ with & without VM, Study design: Cross sectional Observational study, Materials: assessment form, 36 SF Health Questionnaire, Modified Sphygmomanometer, BP apparatus, Nike-HRM-TRIAX, Methodology: 335 (M=146) subjects participated to perform SLF and SQ position with & without VM and SBP, DBP and HR were recorded. Data Analysis: SPSS -10.1, LOS was set at 0.05 or CI 95 %. Result: Study has shown significant increases in SBP in SQ and increase HR in SLF position with and without VM. Discussion: the impact of Heart Rate Variability and baroreflex sensitivity in CV system plays vital role in maintaining hemodynamic status while performing valsalva like activities. Conclusion: SQ has significant impact on SBP and DBP as compared to SLF position with and without VM as well as SLF position has a significant impact on HR as compared to SQ with VM, however these need to be taken into consideration while planning life style modification for high risk population.enValsalva Maneuver (VM)Sitting Lean Forward (SLF) positionSquatting (SQ)PositionCardiovascular (CV) responsesArticle
