Chest pain is a common presentation
of heart attacks, but is also a symptom of many other conditions
including simple heart-burns. Another sign of heart attack
is abnormally slow heart rate, which can also be caused by
changes within the brainstem, what is called supraventricular
bradycardia. These can all be resolved by using the NeuroScope to confirm the severe vagal withdrawal only seen in heart
attacks. The NeuroScope can also be used to monitor a patient
who is recovering from heart attack, since such recovery is
mirrored by the recovery of cardiac vagal tone.
