Brief summary
Investigators conducted a pilot study to to evaluate the autonomic function in participants with pectus excavatum before and after Nuss surgery.
Detailed description
Since pectus excavatum can cause cardiac arrhythmia, the cardiac autonomic function in participants with pectus excavatum might be impaired. However, to our knowledge, there is no any study to evaluate the cardiac autonomic function in participants with pectus excavatum.
