title: Autonomic functions in chronic severe anaemia.
abstract: The autonomic functions were evaluated in uncomplicated chronic severe anaemia. Elevation of heart rate and systolic blood pressure without any alteration of diastolic blood pressure were observed in anaemics as compared to control group. Expiration/inspiration ratio and BVL did not show any significant difference in two groups. The results suggest possibility of increased activity of sympathetic part out of two divisions of autonomic nervous system.
