Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the current study was designed to evaluate autonomic regulation in IBS subjects and healthy controls by means of a non-invasive approach.
Methods: this study was designed to be a cross section study. The patients enrolled in the present study were those with proven irritable bowel syndrome recruited from Ain Shams University Hospitals.
All the studied cases were subjected to the following: full medical history, thorough clinical examination, routine laboratory investigations and Holter ECG.
Results: The results of the present study are no significant difference between IBS patients and control could be elicited as regard Holter data.
Conclusion : The previous data and results recorded showed that there is some autonomic nervous system dysregulation in irritable bowel syndrome as regards to heart rate, which represent higher sympathetic activity in IBS patients. Also, the orthostatic changes of arterial blood pressure in IBS patients from supine to erect position more than that occur in controls patients.
