Introduction: Cerebrovascular diseases result in sensorymotor deficits disturbing postural control that is observed by weightbearing asymmetries commonly named as hemiparesis. Besides hemiparetic impairments, first observed after stroke, many studies have pointed cardiac failure and risk of sudden death as the main factors responsible for death of stroke survivors. This case series characterized weightbearing asymmetries and heart rate variability, and describes relationships between these parameters in hemiparesis. Case Series: Five Brazilian male subjects with chronic hemiparesis acquired after ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery were selected to study heart rate variability obtained by Root
