Abstract: We would like to thank Blitshteyn for taking the time to read our article1 and provide their comments. Although our study1 lacked a healthy control group, a previous study2 from our lab included 19 healthy controls and demonstrated that ST-segment depression in response to elevated sympathetic tone, measured by skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA). That finding is consistent with the current study's results. The clinical implications of our study would be further strengthened if we could determine the relationship between ST height and average SKNA in patients with J-wave syndrome, which is associated with nocturnal ST elevation, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden death.
