Impaired vagal adaptation to an exercise task in women with gestational diabetes mellitus versus women with uncomplicated pregnancies

This finding suggests early alterations in ANS may exist in women with GDM, even when no differences are detected in resting conditions.PMID:34308519 | DOI:10.1007/s42000-021-00311-4
