Abstract

Material/Methods: Twenty-five children aged 5 to 13 years participated in the study: 19 with asthma analyzed both during an attack (acute asthma group) and after controlling the condition (controlled asthma group), and 6 without asthma (control group). Peak flow, spirometric variables and C-reactive protein were analyzed. Heart rate variability (HRV) was evaluated at rest for 10 min in the supine position using frequency and time domains as well as non-linear variables. Asthma was characterized as persistent/moderate based on the classification of severity.
