Cardiovagal function tests in a healthy patient

Cardiovagal function tests, deep breathing and Valsalva maneuver, performed in an age- and sex-matched healthy person.

Green indicates heart rate; pink, mean blood pressure; blue, respiration to monitor effort; yellow, expiratory effort during Valsalva maneuver.
