Prenatal Cocaine Exposure

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  Cardiac vagal tone (VT) was studied as a resilience factor in children prenatally exposed to cocaine and nonexposed controls (n= 550). A cumulative risk index was derived and used to classify children as high versus low risk. VT was measured during mildly stressful observations at 1 and 36 months of age.
