I risultati ottenuti in questo lavoro di tesi e i risultati dei lavori precedenti di Gambarotta (2013) e Cruanes (2013) sono coerenti con le ipotesi di lavoro delineate nel capitolo introduttivo. Con questo lavoro di tesi si conclude, dunque, un’analisi approfondita di questo database, nella quale sono stati utilizzati diversi metodi di indagine per studiare le serie battito-battito estratte dal segnale pressorio e la serie HP, sia nel dominio del tempo che nel dominio della frequenza. Inoltre sono stati stimati indirettamente il cardiac output e lo stroke volume. L’utilizzo di metodi di indagine più avanzati, come ad esempio un’analisi approfondita nel dominio tempo-frequenza attraverso le wavelet applicate alle serie di variabilità cardiaca e pressoria, con tutta probabilità non aggiungerebbe informazioni fondamentali ai risultati già ottenuti.
I risultati ottenuti dai vari approcci menzionati sono comunque rilevanti e servono a stimolare ulteriore ricerca nel campo, giustificando in prospettiva nuovi esperimenti, integrati da nuove misure o proponendo altri trattamenti farmacologici.
