Abstract
Maintaining cerebral perfusion in the early stages of recovery after stroke is paramount. Autoregulatory function may be impaired during this period leaving cerebral perfusion directly reliant on intravascular volume and blood pressure (BP) with increased risk for expanding cerebral infarction during periods of low BP and hemorrhagic transformation during BP elevations. We suspected that dysautonomia is common during the acute period related to both pre-existing vascular risk factors and potentially independent of such conditions. Thus, we sought to understand the state of the science specific to dysautonomia and acute stroke. The scoping review search included multiple databases and key terms related to acute stroke and dysautonomia. The team employed a rigorous review process to identify, evaluate, and summarize relevant literature. We additionally summarized common clinical approaches used to detect dysautonomia at the bedside. The purpose of this scoping review is to understand the state of the science for the identification, treatment, and impact of dysautonomia on acute stroke patient outcomes. There is a high prevalence of dysautonomia among persons with stroke, though there is significant variability in the type of measures and definitions used to diagnose dysautonomia. While dysautonomia appears to be associated with poor functional outcome and post-stroke complications, there is a paucity of high-quality evidence, and generalizability is limited by heterogenous approaches to these studies. There is a need to establish common definitions, standard measurement tools, and a roadmap for incorporating these measures into clinical practice so that larger studies can be conducted.

Prevalence and Impact of Medical Complications on Clinical Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients After Endovascular Therapy - Data From a Comprehensive Stroke Unit in China. World Neurosurg 2024; 182:e386-e399. [PMID: 38030069 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.11.113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aim to assess the incidence and impact of in-hospital medical complications (MCs) on clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients after endovascular therapy (EVT). METHODS AIS patients who underwent EVT were consecutively recruited from January 2019 to July 2022. The primary outcome was a poor 3-month functional outcome, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) of 3-6. The safety variables were symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and mortality at 7 and 30 days. RESULTS A total of 306 (50.1%) patients experienced at least one of the MCs. The most common MC was pneumonia (42.6%). Multivariate analysis revealed that the setting of MCs was an independent predictor of a poor 3-month functional outcome (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.40, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.01-6.42; P < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, this trend was significant, especially in the patients aged 60-75 years (aOR 5.87, 95% CI 3.45-9.97; P < 0.001) or with baseline NIHSS (≤16) (aOR 5.05, 95% CI 2.84-9.01; P < 0.001). For individuals, cardiac events (aOR 8.56, 95% CI 4.05-18.09; P < 0.001), pneumonia (aOR 5.08, 95% CI 3.42-7.55; P < 0.001), and gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) (aOR 6.12, 95% CI 3.40-11.01; P < 0.001) were independently associated with the poor 3-month outcome. The setting of MCs was independently associated with symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (aOR 2.11, 95% CI 1.22-3.64; P = 0.007) and mortality at 30 days (aOR 2.11, 95% CI 1.22-3.64; P = 0.007) after adjustment, but not with mortality at 7 days. CONCLUSIONS MCs in AIS patients after EVT have a high incidence, despite successful reperfusion, adversely affecting clinical outcomes and increasing short-term mortality.

The value of circadian heart rate variability for the estimation of obstructive sleep apnea severity in adult males. Sleep Breath 2024:10.1007/s11325-023-02983-1. [PMID: 38170376 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-023-02983-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Heart rate variability (HRV) is becoming more prevalent as a measurable parameter in wearable sleep-monitoring devices, which are simple and effective instruments for illness evaluation. Currently, most studies on investigating OSA severity and HRV have measured heart rates during wakefulness or sleep. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the circadian rhythm of HRV in male patients with OSA and its value for the estimation of OSA severity using group-based trajectory modeling. METHODS Patients with complaints of snoring were enrolled from the Sleep Center of Shandong Qianfoshan Hospital. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to apnea hypopnea index (AHI in events/h), as follows: (<15, 15≤AHI<30, and ≥30). HRV parameters were calculated using 24 h Holter monitoring, which included time-domain and frequency-domain indices. Circadian differences in the standard deviation of normal to normal (SDNN) were evaluated for OSA severity using analysis of variance, trajectory analysis, and multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 228 patients were enrolled, 47 with mild OSA, 48 moderate, and 133 severe. Patients with severe OSA exhibited reduced triangular index and higher very low frequency than those in the other groups. Circadian HRV showed that nocturnal SDNN was considerably higher than daytime SDNN in patients with severe OSA. The difference among the OSA groups was significant at 23, 24, 2, and 3 o'clock sharp between the severe and moderate OSA groups (all P<0.05). The heterogeneity of circadian HRV trajectories in OSA was strongly associated with OSA severity, including sleep structure and hypoxia-related parameters. Among the low-to-low, low-to-high, high-to-low, and high-to-high groups, OSA severity in the low-to-high group was the most severe, especially compared with the low-to-low and high-to-low SDNN groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Circadian HRV in patients with OSA emerged as low daytime and high nocturnal in SDNN, particularly in men with severe OSA. The heterogeneity of circadian HRV revealed that trajectories with low daytime and significantly high nighttime were more strongly associated with severe OSA. Thus, circadian HRV trajectories may be useful to identify the severity of OSA.

Data lake-driven analytics identify nocturnal non-dipping of heart rate as predictor of unfavorable stroke outcome at discharge. J Neurol 2023:10.1007/s00415-023-11718-x. [PMID: 37079032 DOI: 10.1007/s00415-023-11718-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) changes have been proposed as outcome predictors after stroke. We used data lake-enabled continuous electrocardiograms to assess post-stroke HR and HRV, and to determine the utility of HR and HRV to improve machine learning-based predictions of stroke outcome. METHODS In this observational cohort study, we included stroke patients admitted to two stroke units in Berlin, Germany, between October 2020 and December 2021 with final diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke or acute intracranial hemorrhage and collected continuous ECG data through data warehousing. We created circadian profiles of several continuously recorded ECG parameters including HR and HRV parameters. The pre-defined primary outcome was short-term unfavorable functional outcome after stroke indicated through modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of > 2. RESULTS We included 625 stroke patients, 287 stroke patients remained after matching for age and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS; mean age 74.5 years, 45.6% female, 88.9% ischemic, median NIHSS 5). Both higher HR and nocturnal non-dipping of HR were associated with unfavorable functional outcome (p < 0.01). The examined HRV parameters were not associated with the outcome of interest. Nocturnal non-dipping of HR ranked highly in feature importance of various machine learning models. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that a lack of circadian HR modulation, specifically nocturnal non-dipping, is associated with short-term unfavorable functional outcome after stroke, and that including HR into machine learning-based prediction models may lead to improved stroke outcome prediction.

Abstract
Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability. To date, hyperacute revascularization procedures reach 5-10% of stroke patients even in high resource health systems. There is a limited time window for brain repair after stroke, and therefore, the activities such as prescribed exercise in the earliest period will likely have long-term significant consequences. Clinicians who provide care for hospitalized stroke patients make treatment decisions specific to activity often without guidelines to direct these prescriptions. This requires a balanced understanding of the available evidence for early post-stroke exercise and physiological principles after stroke that drive the safety of prescribed exercise. Here, we provide a summary of these relevant concepts, identify gaps, and recommend an approach to prescribing safe and meaningful activity for all patients with stroke. The population of thrombectomy-eligible stroke patients can be used as the exemplar for conceptualization.

Abstract
Stroke is a pathophysiological condition which results in alterations in cerebral blood flow (CBF). The mechanism by which the brain maintains adequate CBF in presence of fluctuating cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is known as cerebral autoregulation (CA). Disturbances in CA may be influenced by a number of physiological pathways including the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The cerebrovascular system is innervated by adrenergic and cholinergic nerve fibers. The role of the ANS in regulating CBF is widely disputed owing to several factors including the complexity of the ANS and cerebrovascular interactions, limitations to measurements, variation in methods to assess the ANS in relation to CBF as well as experimental approaches that can or cannot provide insight into the sympathetic control of CBF. CA is known to be impaired in stroke however the number of studies investigating the mechanisms by which this occurs are limited. This literature review will focus on highlighting the assessment of the ANS and CBF via indices derived from the analyses of heart rate variability (HRV), and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), and providing a summary of both clinical and animal model studies investigating the role of the ANS in influencing CA in stroke. Understanding the mechanisms by which the ANS influences CBF in stroke patients may provide the foundation for novel therapeutic approaches to improve functional outcomes in stroke patients.

Abstract
Depressive and somatic symptoms are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Depression after TBI can relate to worsened cognitive functioning, functional impairment, higher rates of suicide attempts, and larger health care costs. Heart rate variability (HRV) represents the activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates almost all vascular, visceral, and metabolic functions. Several studies show a correlation between HRV, depression, and somatic symptoms in other diseases. However, studies on autonomic dysfunction, depression, and somatic symptoms in TBI patients are lacking. This study investigated the association between reduced ANS function, depression, and somatic symptoms in TBI patients. We retrospectively recruited 136 TBI patients who underwent 24 h ambulatory Holter electrocardiography to measure autonomic dysfunction within 1 month of onset. Patients who used BDI and PHQ-15 to evaluate depressive and somatic symptoms were included. Using Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple linear regression, the association between HRV parameters and BDI and PHQ-15 was determined. The HRV parameters and BDI and PHQ-15 showed statistical significance. In addition, HRV was shown to be a significantly associated factor of BDI and PHQ-15. HRV was associated with depressive and somatic symptom severity in TBI patients. Additionally, autonomic dysfunction may serve as an associated factor of depressive and somatic symptoms in patients with TBI.

Abstract
Stroke patients with autonomic dysfunction are more likely to develop cardiac problems, which have been linked to lower functional outcomes and increased mortality. In this study, heart rate variability (HRV) detection paired with the Clinical Feature Scale will be utilized to elucidate the immediate impact of manual acupuncture on autonomic dysfunction of varying severity in the convalescence stroke phase. This is a randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial approach. At a ratio of 1:1, 60 appropriate patients will be randomly randomized into either the experimental or control group. On the basis of symptomatic treatment drugs, the experimental group will additionally undertake acupuncture therapy 3 times a week for 4 weeks, for a total of 12 times. Primary outcomes include 24-hour HRV and 60-minute HRV detection at week 4 compared with baseline. The secondary outcome is the score of clinical feature scale at week 4 compared with the baseline. Adverse events and safety indices will be recorded throughout the experiment. The SPSS V.25.0 statistical program was applied for analysis, and measurement data were expressed as mean ± SD.

Abstract
Autonomic imbalance in stroke is characterized by increased sympathetic activity and reduced vagal nerve activity. Physical activity could be a strategy to counteract autonomic control impairments after a stroke. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect on heart rate variability of a 6-month coaching program in a home setting in subacute stroke patients. Eighty-four stroke patients participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. The intervention was a coaching program, consisting of physical activity, home visits and a weekly phone call. Patients were evaluated after hospital discharge (T0) and at the end of the 6-month period (T1). Heart rate variability measures were recorded in the supine and orthostatic positions. Time and frequency domain values were treated using Kubios. Distance on 6 minutes walking test (6MWT), Barthel and motricity index and modified functional ambulation categories were evaluated. No effects were found on time and frequency domain values in the supine and orthostatic positions in either group. Walking distance on 6MWT increased significantly between T0 and T1 in experimental group (377 ± 141-448 ± 140 m; P < 0.02) with no effects in control group (373.6 ± 150.6-394.6 ± 176.4 m). No other functional effects were found. A coaching program in a home setting had no effect on heart rate variability, probably due to time of recovery and exercise intensity. Future research is needed to understand the lack of changes in heart rate variability by physical activity in subacute stroke patients.

Abstract
Much of biology is rhythmical and comprises oscillators that can couple. These have optimized energy efficiency and have been preserved during evolution. The respiratory and cardiovascular systems contain numerous oscillators, and importantly, they couple. This coupling is dynamic but essential for an efficient transmission of neural information critical for the precise linking of breathing and oxygen delivery while permitting adaptive responses to changes in state. The respiratory pattern generator and the neural network responsible for sympathetic and cardiovagal (parasympathetic) tone generation interact at many levels ensuring that cardiac output and regional blood flow match oxygen delivery to the lungs and tissues efficiently. The most classic manifestations of these interactions are respiratory sinus arrhythmia and the respiratory modulation of sympathetic nerve activity. These interactions derive from shared somatic and cardiopulmonary afferent inputs, reciprocal interactions between brainstem networks and inputs from supra-pontine regions. Disrupted respiratory-cardiovascular coupling can result in disease, where it may further the pathophysiological sequelae and be a harbinger of poor outcomes. This has been well documented by diminished respiratory sinus arrhythmia and altered respiratory sympathetic coupling in animal models and/or patients with myocardial infarction, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, and neurological disorders as stroke, brain trauma, Parkinson disease, or epilepsy. Future research needs to assess the therapeutic potential for ameliorating respiratory-cardiovascular coupling in disease.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a severe clinical syndrome accompanied by a number of comorbidities. Ischemic stroke occurs frequently in patients with HF as a complication of the disease. In the present review, we aimed to summarize the current state of research on the role of cardio–cerebral interactions in the prevalence, etiology, and prognosis of both diseases. The main pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of stroke in HF and vice versa are discussed. In addition, we reviewed the results of recent clinical trials investigating the prevalence and prevention of stroke in patients with HF.

Abstract
Strokes are the paradigmatic example of the sudden impairment of the cerebral regulation of cardiac autonomic regulation. Although several aspects of dysautonomic cardiovascular regulation post stroke remain unanswered, there has been a wealth of research in this area in the last decade. In this article, we present a state-of-the-art review on the anatomical and functional organization of cardiovascular autonomic regulation, and the pathophysiology, incidence, time course, diagnosis, clinical aspects, prognosis, and management of post-stroke cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction.
