Abstract
Purpose: The consumption of caffeinated beverages has significantly increased among young people in recent years. The objective of the study is to investigate the acute effects of caffeinated beverages on electrocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters of young adults.
Materials and Methods: Study was designed as a non-randomized, non-placebo controlled, three-arm parallel assignment. It was conducted on 56 individuals selected from a pool of students enrolled at Aydın Adnan Menderes University. Energy drink, coffee, cola and control groups were determined according to the results of the applicant acceptance questionnaire. Blood pressure and electrocardiogram were measured before and after consuming the drinks at 30 minutes and 60 minutes. Heart rate variability was detected from electrocardiogram signal and investigated by linear analysis.
Results: All caffeinated drinks increased the blood pressure. Only, heart rate was increased by energy drink and cola. There was a small increment in root-mean square differences of successive R-R intervals and the number of times successive heartbeat intervals exceed 50ms (NN50) values in coffee group. High frequency (HF) values were increased some for coffee and cola groups. But, low frequency (LF) and LF/HF values were decreased. These alterations were statistically significant for coffee group. PR interval and QRS complex did not alter, however, QTc interval was lower in energy drink and cola groups.
Conclusion: Caffeinated beverage consumption has the potential to induce adverse effects on cardiovascular system of young adults. Coffee appears to be more prominent than energy drink and cola.

Abstract
Although the pathogenesis of autoimmunity is not fully understood, it is thought to involve genetic, hormonal, immunologic, and environmental factors. Stress has been evaluated as a potential trigger for autoimmunity and disease flares in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The physiologic changes that occur with stress involve numerous catecholamines, hormones, and cytokines that communicate intricately with the immune system. There is some evidence that these systems may be dysregulated in patients with autoimmune disease. Mindfulness-based techniques are practices aimed at mitigating stress response and have been shown to improve quality of life in general population. This review will discuss pathophysiology of chronic stress as it relates to SLE, evidence behind mindfulness-based practices in these patients, and directions for future research.

Abstract
A low-frequency to a high-frequency component ratio (LF/HF) in heart rate variability (HRV) may not accurately reflect sympathetic nervous activity during exercise. Thus, a valid HRV-based index of sympathetic nervous activity is needed. Therefore, the heart rate to LF ratio (Heart rate/LF) was evaluated as sympathetic nervous activity index which is reflected by catecholamine levels during incremental exercise. In this study, 15 healthy adults performed an incremental exercise test using a cycle ergometer. HRV was derived from electrocardiography and HRV components related to the autonomic nervous system were obtained using frequency analysis. Heart rate/LF was calculated using the heart rate and LF component produced by HRV analysis. Catecholamine, blood lactate levels and respiratory gas were also measured throughout the exercise test. While LF/HF did not increase with increasing exercise intensity, Heart rate/LF non-linearly increased during the incremental exercise test, as did noradrenaline and blood lactate. Interestingly, Heart rate/LF values were positively correlated with noradrenaline (ρ = 0.788, p < 0.05) and blood lactate (ρ = 0.802, p < 0.05) levels and carbon dioxide production (ρ = 0.903, p < 0.05) from at rest through the exercise stages. Heart rate/LF reflects sympathetic nervous activity and metabolic responses during incremental cycling exercise and has potential as an HRV index of sympathetic nervous activity during exercise.Trial registration: UMIN Japan identifier: UMIN000039639..

Abstract
Research demonstrates that both music-making and music listening have an ability to modulate autonomic nervous system activity. The majority of studies have highlighted acute autonomic changes occurring during or immediately following a single session of music engagement. Several studies also suggest that repeated music-making and listening may have longer-term effects on autonomic tone-the prevailing balance of sympathetic vs. parasympathetic activity. Autonomic imbalance is associated with a range of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders, mental health conditions and non-communicable diseases. Established behavioral interventions capable of restoring healthy autonomic tone (e.g., physical activity; smoking cessation) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in broadly promoting health and preventing disease and up to 7.2 million annual deaths. Accordingly, this article proposes that music's suggested ability to modulate autonomic tone may be a key central mechanism underpinning the broad health benefits of music-making and listening reported in several recent reviews. Further, this article highlights how physical activity research provides a relevant roadmap to efficiently advancing understanding of music's effects on both autonomic tone and health more broadly, as well as translating this understanding into evidence-based policy and prescriptions. In particular, adapting FITT-Frequency, Intensity, Timing, Type-criteria to evaluate and prescribe music-making and listening in observational and intervention studies has excellent prospective utility.

Different body parts' fat mass and corrected QT interval on the electrocardiogram: The Fasa PERSIAN Cohort Study. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2021; 21:277. [PMID: 34090333 PMCID: PMC8178852 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-021-02095-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Previous studies suggested that obesity and fat mass are associated with QT interval prolongation, but the role of different body parts' fat mass is unclear. The associations between total and regional fat mass (FM) and corrected QT interval (QTc) were investigated for the first time in this study.
Methods In this sub-analysis of Fasa PERSIAN cohort Study data, 3217 subjects aged 35–70 entered our study. Body fat mass was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis and QTc interval calculated by the QT interval measured by Cardiax® software from ECGs and Bazett’s formula. Uni- and multi-variable linear and logistic regression was performed in IBM SPSS Statistics v23. Results In males, the fat mass to fat-free mass (FM/FFM) ratio in the trunk, arms, total body, and legs were significantly higher in the prolonged QTc group (QTc > 450 ms). Trunk (B = 0.148), total (B = 0.137), arms (B = 0.124), legs (B = 0.107) fat mass index (FMI) showed significant positive relationship with continuous QTc (P-value < 0.001). Also, just the fat-free mass index of legs had significant positive associations with QTc interval (P-value < 0.05). Surprisingly, in females, the mean of FM/FFM ratio in trunk and legs in the normal QTc group had higher values than the prolonged QTc group (QTc > 470 ms). Also, none of the body composition variables had a significant correlation with continuous QTc. Conclusion Our study suggested that FMI ratios in the trunk, total body, arms, and legs were positively associated with QTc interval in males, respectively, from a higher to a lower beta-coefficient. Such associations were not seen in females. Our study implies that body fat mass may be an independent risk factor for higher QTc interval and, consequently, more cardiovascular events that should be investigated.

Abstract
The potentially fatal cardiovascular effects of hypoglycaemia are not well understood and large animal models of the counter-regulatory responses and cardiovascular consequences of insulin-induced hypoglycaemia are needed to understand the mechanisms in humans. The aim of this study was to develop a human-like minipig model of hypoglycaemia including healthy and diabetic pigs to investigate endocrine, electrocardiographic and platelet effects. Hypoglycaemia was induced using a hyperinsulinaemic, hypoglycaemic clamp and an insulin bolus protocol. Plasma glucose, glucagon, C-peptide, insulin, epinephrine and platelet aggregation responses were measured before, during and after hypoglycaemia. Continuous electrocardiographic recordings were obtained. Hypoglycaemia at a plasma glucose concentration of 0.8–1.0 mM in the clamp induced 25-fold increase in epinephrine and sixfold and threefold increase in glucagon for healthy and diabetic pigs, respectively. The hypoglycaemic clamp induced QTc-interval prolongation and increase in cardiac arrhythmias. In the bolus approach, the non-diabetic group reached plasma glucose target of 1.5 mM and QTc-interval was prolonged after insulin injection, but before glucose nadir. The diabetic group did not reach hypoglycaemic target, but still demonstrated QTc-interval prolongation. These results demonstrate effects of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia closely resembling human physiology, indicating the minipig as a translational animal model of counter-regulatory endocrine and myocardial effects of hypoglycaemia.

Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) in younger men is an increasing concern. In middle aged and older men, ED was related to lower resting heart rate variability (HRV), but research in younger men is lacking. The present study examined, in a nonclinical sample of 105 men between 18 and 39 years, the association of ED with several parameters of resting HRV. Scores of the 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) below 22 were considered as indicating ED. Eighteen men (17.1%) reported ED (mild in 16, mild to moderate in 2). Welch's tests revealed that ED was associated with lower low-frequency power (LF), lower high-frequency power (HF), lower standard deviation of interbeat intervals, and lower standard deviation of the heart rate, which is influenced by both sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. After removing outliers, ED was unrelated to HF. In younger men, erections might be facilitated by a combination of higher parasympathetic tone and relatively higher sympathetic tone in the heart, as indicated by LF and greater standard deviation of the heart rate, a largely overlooked parameter in HRV research.

Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to represent the regulatory adaptive system and is a proxy for neurovisceral integration. Consistent with the view that, like other addictions, Internet gaming disorder (IGD) involves disrupted regulatory function, the present study hypothesized that IGD patients would show (a) decreased HRV, (b) ineffective functional neural connectivity, and (c) differential patterns of association between HRV and functional neural connectivity relative to healthy controls (HCs). The present study included 111 young adults (53 IGD patients and 58 age‐ and sex‐matched HCs) who underwent simultaneous recordings with an electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram during a resting state. Heart rate (HR), HRV, and functional neural connectivity were calculated using the graph theory approach. Compared with the HCs, the IGD patients exhibited elevated HR and decreased HRV based on the high frequency (HF), which reflects suppression of parasympathetic and/or vagal tone. The IGD patients also exhibited a heightened theta band characteristic path length (CPL) compared with HCs, indicating decreased efficacy of the functional network. Furthermore, IGD patients exhibited negative correlations between the standard deviation of the normal‐to‐normal interval index (SDNNi) and theta and delta CPL values, which were not observed in HCs. In conclusion, the present findings suggest that IGD patients might have maladaptive brain‐body integration features involving disruptions of the autonomic nervous system and brain function.

Abstract
AbstractRelational victimization typically emerges first during the elementary school period, and has been associated with increased levels of internalizing symptoms in children. Individual differences in autonomic nervous system functioning have been suggested as a potential factor linking social stressors and internalizing symptoms. The aim of this study was therefore to examine whether heart rate and heart rate variability mediated the association between relational victimization and internalizing symptoms in 373 mainstream elementary school children. Children were assessed in 2015 (T0; Grades 3–5, M age = 9.78 years, 51% boys) and reassessed in 2016 (T1). Heart rate and heart rate variability were assessed during a regular school day at T1. A multi-informant (teacher and peer report) cross-time measure of relational victimization, and a multi-informant (self- and teacher report) measure of internalizing problems at T1 was used. Results showed that heart rate variability, but not heart rate, mediated the association between relational victimization and internalizing symptoms. This study provides tentative support that in children from a general population sample, a psychobiological factor may mediate the association of relational victimization with internalizing symptoms.

Abstract
A growing body of research has suggested heart rate variability (HRV) may be reduced in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in comparison to neurotypical cohorts. While there have been several studies investigating HRV in children diagnosed with ASD, few studies have been conducted in adults. The objective of the current study was to investigate autonomic nervous system activity as assessed by HRV in adults diagnosed with ASD. We hypothesized that adults with ASD would show a reduction in HRV compared to neurotypical participants. Participants diagnosed with ASD (n = 55) were recruited from the Autism Clinic for Translational Research at the Brain and Mind Centre (University of Sydney) between 2013 and 2017. Neurotypical participants were recruited from advertisements and online media. Resting state heart rate was measured for 5 min while participants sat in an upright position. Results showed there was an overall significant difference in resting-state HRV between adults diagnosed with ASD compared to the neurotypical control group. Logarithmically transformed high frequency (HF) and root mean square of successive differences were particularly decreased in the ASD group, suggesting lower parasympathetic activity. The use of psychotropic medications and comorbidities were associated with reductions in low frequency of HRV. Our data suggest an overall dysregulation in resting autonomic activity in adults with ASD. This may represent an important physiological mechanism leading to potential cardiovascular risk in ASD, which warrants further investigation. Autism Res 2019, 12: 922-930. © 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: ASD is commonly associated with a range of physical and mental health comorbidities. Autonomic disruptions underlying reductions in heart rate variability (HRV) have been linked to a range of mental and physical health conditions. We assessed resting-state HRV in adults diagnosed with ASD in comparison to healthy individuals. Our results showed reduced heart rate variability in people diagnosed with ASD compared to adults without ASD. These findings implicate a role for autonomic activity as a potentially modifiable risk factor for ASD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We performed the first analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) at rest and exercise under full autonomic blockade on the same subjects, to test the conjecture that vagal tone withdrawal occurs at exercise onset. We hypothesized that, between rest and exercise: i) no differences in total power (PTOT) under parasympathetic blockade; ii) a PTOT fall under β1-sympathetic blockade; iii) no differences in Ptot under blockade of both ANS branches. METHODS 7 males (24±3 years) performed 5-min cycling (80W) supine, preceded by 5-min rest during control and with administration of atropine, metoprolol and atropine+metoprolol (double blockade). Heart rate and arterial blood pressure were continuously recorded. HRV and blood pressure variability were determined by power spectral analysis, and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) by the sequence method. RESULTS At rest, PTOT and the powers of low (LF) and high (HF) frequency components of HRV were dramatically decreased in atropine and double blockade compared to control and metoprolol, with no effects on LF/HF ratio and on the normalised LF (LFnu) and HF (HFnu). At exercise, patterns were the same as at rest. Comparing exercise to rest, PTOT varied as hypothesized. For SAP and DAP, resting PTOT was the same in all conditions. At exercise, in all conditions, PTOT was lower than in control. BRS decreased under atropine and double blockade at rest, under control and metoprolol during exercise. CONCLUSIONS The results support the hypothesis that vagal suppression determined disappearance of HRV during exercise.

Background Current therapies for heart failure (HF) are followed by strategies to improve quality of life and exercise tolerance, besides reducing morbidity and mortality. Some HF patients present changes in the musculoskeletal system and inspiratory muscle weakness, which may be restored by inspiratory muscle training, thus increasing respiratory muscle strength and endurance, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2), functional capacity, respiratory responses to exercise, and quality of life. Yoga therapies have been shown to improve quality of life, inflammatory markers, and peak VO2 mostly in HF patients with a reduced ejection fraction. However, the effect of different yoga breathing techniques in patients showing HF with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remain to be assessed. Methods/design A PROBE (prospective randomized open blinded end-point) parallel-group trial will be conducted at two specialized HF clinics. Adult patients previously diagnosed with HFpEF will be included. After signing informed consent and performing a pre-test intervention, patients will be randomized into three groups and provided with either (1) active yoga breathing techniques; (2) passive yoga breathing techniques (pranayama); or and (3) control (standard pharmacological treatment). Follow-up will last 8 weeks (16 sessions). The post-intervention tests will be performed at the end of the intervention period for analysis of outcomes. Interventions will occur continuously according to patients’ enrollment. The main outcome is respiratory muscular resistance. A total of 33 enrolled patients are expected. The present protocol followed the SPIRIT guidelines and fulfilled the SPIRIT checklist. Discussion This trial is probably the first to assess the effects of a non-pharmacological intervention, namely yoga and specific breathing techniques, to improve cardiorespiratory function, autonomic system, and quality of life in patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
The use of heart rate variability (HRV) to inform daily training prescription is becoming common in endurance sport. Few studies, however, have investigated the use of pre-training HRV to predict decreased performance or altered exercising autonomic response, typical of functional overreaching (FOR). Further, a new cardiac vagal tone (ProCVT) technology purports to eliminate some of the noise associated with daily HRV, and therefore may be better at predicting same-day performance. The purpose of this investigation was to examine if changes to resting HRV and ProCVT were associated with alterations in performance, maximal heart rate (HRmax), or heart rate recovery (HRrec) in FOR athletes. Twenty-eight recreational cyclists and triathletes were assigned to experimental/control conditions and underwent: 1 week of reduced training, 3 weeks of overload (OL) or regular training (CON), and 1 week of recovery. Testing occurred following the reduced training week (T1), post-3 weeks of training (T2), and following the recovery week (T3). Measures of resting HRV/ProCVT were collected each testing session, followed by maximal incremental exercise tests with HRrec taken 60 s post-exercise. Performance decreased from T1 to T2 in the OL group vs. CON (Δ-9 ± 12 vs. Δ9 ± 11 W, P < .001), as did HRmax (Δ-8 ± 4 vs. Δ-2 ± 4 bpm, P < .001). HRrec increased from T1 to T2 in the OL group vs. CON (Δ10 ± 9 vs. Δ2 ± 5 beats/min, P < .01). HRV and ProCVT did not change in either group. Same-day resting autonomic measures are insufficient in predicting alterations to performance or exercising HR measures following overload training.

Abstract
Background/Aims: There is a heightened risk for cardiovascular diseases in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Alterations in heart rate variability (HRV) may reflect subclinical cardiovascular disease, with a putative association between HRV and dietary fat. This study evaluated HRV in PCOS and control women based on the dietary intake of saturated fatty acid (SFA). Methods: Biochemical/hormonal profile, resting metabolic rate, physical activity, HRV in response to the Stroop test, and dietary intake were assessed in 84 PCOS and 54 control women stratified by median SFA intake in the PCOS group (8.5% of daily energy intake). Results: Body mass index (p = 0.041), blood pressure (p < 0.01), and HOMA-IR (p = 0.003) were higher in PCOS vs. controls. PCOS women had higher testosterone (p = 0.001), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (p = 0.012), and free androgen index (p = 0.001), and lower sex hormone-binding globulin levels than controls (p = 0.001). In both groups, the clinical profile and calorie intake were similar between SFA categories. In PCOS, testosterone was lower when SFA intake <8.5%. PCOS women with SFA <8.5% consumed more beans, fruits, and vegetables and had better frequency and time domain HRV indices. No differences in HRV were detected between SFA categories in controls. In PCOS, age and SFA intake were independent predictors of HRV. Conclusions: Lower SFA intake is related to improved cardiovascular autonomic function in PCOS.

Abstract
Cardiac parasympathetic activity may be non-invasively investigated using heart rate variability (HRV), although HRV is not widely accepted to reflect sympathetic activity. Instead, cardiac sympathetic activity may be investigated using systolic time intervals (STI), such as the pre-ejection period. Although these autonomic indices are typically measured during rest, the “reactivity hypothesis” suggests that investigating responses to a stressor (e.g., exercise) may be a valuable monitoring approach in clinical and high-performance settings. However, when interpreting these indices it is important to consider how the exercise dose itself (i.e., intensity, duration, and modality) may influence the response. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to review the literature regarding how the exercise dosage influences these autonomic indices during exercise and acute post-exercise recovery. There are substantial methodological variations throughout the literature regarding HRV responses to exercise, in terms of exercise protocols and HRV analysis techniques. Exercise intensity is the primary factor influencing HRV, with a greater intensity eliciting a lower HRV during exercise up to moderate-high intensity, with minimal change observed as intensity is increased further. Post-exercise, a greater preceding intensity is associated with a slower HRV recovery, although the dose-response remains unclear. A longer exercise duration has been reported to elicit a lower HRV only during low-moderate intensity and when accompanied by cardiovascular drift, while a small number of studies have reported conflicting results regarding whether a longer duration delays HRV recovery. “Modality” has been defined multiple ways, with limited evidence suggesting exercise of a greater muscle mass and/or energy expenditure may delay HRV recovery. STI responses during exercise and recovery have seldom been reported, although limited data suggests that intensity is a key determining factor. Concurrent monitoring of HRV and STI may be a valuable non-invasive approach to investigate autonomic stress reactivity; however, this integrative approach has not yet been applied with regards to exercise stressors.

Abstract
Heart rate recovery (HRR) describes the rapid deceleration of heart rate after strenuous exercise and is an indicator of parasympathetic tone. A reduction in parasympathetic tone occurs in patients with congestive heart failure, resulting in prolonged HRR. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as pyridostigmine, can enhance parasympathetic tone by increasing cholinergic input to the heart. The objective of this study was to develop a rodent model of HRR to test the hypothesis that subacute pyridostigmine administration decreases cholinesterase activity and accelerates HRR in rats. Ten days after implantation of radiotelemetry transmitters, male Sprague Dawley rats were randomized to control (CTL) or treated (PYR; 0.14 mg/mL pyridostigmine in the drinking water, 29 days) groups. Rats were exercised on a treadmill to record HRR, and blood samples were collected on days 0, 7, 14, and 28 of pyridostigmine administration. Total cholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in plasma was decreased by 32%-43% and 57%-80%, respectively, in PYR rats on days 7-28, while plasma butyrylcholinesterase activity did not significantly change. AChE activity in red blood cells was markedly reduced by 64%-66%. HRR recorded 1 minute after exercise was higher in the PYR group on days 7, 14 and 28, and on day 7 when HRR was estimated at 3 and 5 minutes. Autonomic tone was evaluated pharmacologically using sequential administration of muscarinic (atropine) and adrenergic (propranolol) blockers. Parasympathetic tone was increased in PYR rats as compared with the CTL group. These data support the study hypothesis that subacute pyridostigmine administration enhances HRR by increasing cardiac parasympathetic tone.

Abstract
Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disease closely related to several risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Obese women with PCOS show altered autonomic modulation. The results of studies investigating cardiac autonomic functions of normal-weight women with PCOS are conflicting. The aim of the study was to assess the reactivity of cardiac sympathovagal balance in normal-weight women with PCOS by heart rate variability analysis. Methods: We examined the heart rate variability in 60 normal-weight women with PCOS and compared them with that in 60 age-matched healthy women having a similar metabolic profile. Time and frequency domain parameters of heart rate variability were analyzed based on 5-min-long continuous electrocardiography recordings for the following 3 periods: (1) during rest in supine position, (2) during controlled breathing, and (3) during isometric handgrip exercise. Results: Time and frequency domain parameters of heart rate variability for the 3 periods assessed were similar in the two groups. Although modified Ferriman–Gallwey score and serum testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels were significantly higher in women with PCOS, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was not different the between the PCOS and control groups. There were no significant correlations between serum testosterone levels and heart rate variability parameters among the study population. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the reactivity of cardiac sympathovagal balance is not altered in normal-weight women with PCOS having a normal HOMA-IR.

Abstract
The ability to assess a user's emotional reaction from biometrics has applications in personalization, recommendation, and enhancing user experiences, among other areas. Unfortunately, understanding the connection between biometric signals and user reactions has previously focused on black box techniques that are opaque to the underlying physiology of the user. In this paper, we explore a novel user study connecting biometric reaction to external stimuli and changes in the user's autonomic nervous system. Specifically, we focus on two competing responses, namely the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, and how differing activations are related to different user responses. Our experiments demonstrate how prior psychophysiological research distinguishing this activation can be replicated using biometric data collected from wearables. The insights from this work have applications in better understanding emotional state from biometric sensors.

Abstract
Stress research in youth typically considers either the autonomic nervous system or HPA axis. However, these systems are highly coordinated and physically interconnected. We examined whether the inter-relation between cardio-autonomic and HPA axis measures was better associated with perceived stress than their singular associations. Children and adolescents (N=201) collected saliva samples to measure cortisol (AUCAG, AUCI, maximum), wore an electrocardiogram monitor for 24h to derive heart rate variability (HRV; LF, HF, LF/HF ratio), and completed the Perceived Stress Scale. The interaction between sympathovagal modulation (LF, LF/HF ratio) and cortisol awakening response (AUCAG, AUCI, maximum) explained significantly greater variance in perceived stress than either stress system alone. Higher sympathovagal modulation combined with higher cortisol awakening response was associated with greater perceived stress. Findings suggest that the inter-relation between cardio-autonomic and HPA axis activity may advance our understanding of how stress impacts health.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Spontaneous breathing with a conventional T-piece (TT) connected to the tracheal tube orotraqueal has been frequently used in clinical setting to weaning of mechanical ventilation (MV), when compared with pressure support ventilation (PSV). However, the acute effects of spontaneous breathing with TT versus PSV on autonomic function assessed through heart rate variability (HRV) have not been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of spontaneous breathing in TT vs PSV in critically ill patients. METHOD Twenty-one patients who had received MV for ≥ 48 h and who met the study inclusion criteria for weaning were assessed. Eligible patients were randomized to TT and PSV. Cardiorespiratory responses (respiratory rate -ƒ, tidal volume-VT , mean blood pressure (MBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), end tidal dioxide carbone (PET CO2 ), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) and HRV indices in frequency domain (low-LF, high frequency (HF) and LF/HF ratio were evaluated. RESULTS TT increased ƒ (20 ± 5 vs 25 ± 4 breaths/min, P<0.05), MBP (90 ± 14 vs 94 ± 18 mmHg, P<0.05), HR (90 ± 17 vs 96 ± 12 beats/min, P<0.05), PET CO2 (33 ± 8 vs 48 ± 10 mmHg, P<0.05) and reduced SpO2 (98 ± 1.6 vs 96 ± 1.6%, P<0.05). In addition, LF increased (47 ± 18 vs 38 ± 12 nu, P<0.05) and HF reduced (29 ± 13 vs 32 ± 16 nu, P<0.05), resulting in higher LF/HF ratio (1.62 ± 2 vs 1.18 ± 1, P<0.05) during TT. Conversely, VT increased with PSV (0.58 ± 0.16 vs 0.50 ± 0.15 L, P<0.05) compared with TT. CONCLUSION Acute effects of TT mode may be closely linked to cardiorespiratory mismatches and cardiac autonomic imbalance in critically ill patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of alcohol on blood pressure and arterial compliance over 24 h in a group of volunteers, comparing the same group of subjects on two consecutive but separate days, one with alcohol intake (alcohol day) and one free of alcohol (control day). We studied 18 healthy subjects (mean age 34.2 years, range 25-53). The subjects received the two days in random order. On the alcohol day, the subjects were asked to drink two glasses of red wine (12% ethanol) between 1830 hours and 0430 hours. Measurements of heart rate, blood pressure and QKD interval (Q wave to Korotkoff (K) sound, diastolic phase (D) using Diasys Integra (Novacor, France)) were recorded (usually 1500 hours to 1500 hours). Three 'ingestion' periods were defined, from 1500 hours to 1830 hours ('before'), 1900 hours to 0430 hours ('during') and from 0430 hours to the following afternoon ('after') on both the alcohol day and on the control day. Red wine increased heart rate during alcohol ingestion and reduced arterial compliance after ingestion. The significant effect of interaction between day and ingestion period on heart rate, diastolic blood pressure and QKD were found, suggesting that the differences in response among the ingestion periods depended on whether alcohol has been consumed that day. For the first time our study indicates the effect of alcohol on 24 h arterial stiffness in a healthy group of volunteers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to characterize cardiac reactivity measures, heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV), following acute intravenous (IV) alcohol administration and their association with subjective responses in social drinkers. METHODS Twenty-four subjects (11 females) received IV alcohol infusions to attain and clamp the breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) at 50 mg% or placebo in separate sessions. Serial 5-minute cardiac recordings at baseline and during the infusion were analyzed to obtain frequency and time domain cardiac measures. Self-reported subjective perceptions were also obtained at the same time points. RESULTS HR showed significant decreases from baseline, while the HRV measure pNN50 showed steady increases during the ascending phase of alcohol infusion. HR was inversely correlated with pNN50 across time and treatment. There was a significant association of HR with subjective feelings of high, intoxication, feeling drug effects, and liking drug effects across time during the ascending phase. CONCLUSIONS Acute IV alcohol resulted in decreases in HR and increases in HRV consistent with autonomic parasympathetic activation. The association of these changes with subjective responses suggests that cardiac reactivity may serve as a physiological marker of subjective alcohol effects. This study broadens the understanding of acute cardiovascular effects of alcohol and clinically significant cardiac conditions such as arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy associated with chronic alcohol drinking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate possible associations between cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction and peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 67 patients with type 2 diabetes were included. PAD was identified by Doppler ultrasonography: systolic ankle-brachial pressure index <0.9. Cardiovascular autonomic function, besides five conventional cardiovascular autonomic function tests, was assessed by heart rate variability (HRV; 24-h ambulatory ECG recording) in time and frequency domains (spectral analyses) and three dimensional return maps. Power spectral analyses (PSA) were quantified in low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and very low frequency. RESULTS Patients with PAD (n = 30) had longer diabetes duration, higher systolic blood pressure (BP), waist-to-hip ratio, HbA1C test, and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) than patients without PAD. Most HRV indices in time domain were lower in patients with than without PAD. These patients also had lower PSA indices (LF=0.19±0.07 vs. 0.29±0.11 n.u.; LF/HF ratio=1.98±0.9 vs. 3.35±1.83; P< 0.001) and indices of sympathetic (three-dimensional return map: P1-night 61.7±9.4 vs. 66.8±9.7; P=0.04) and vagal (24-h P2 54.5±15.2 vs. 62.7±2.9; P< 0.02) activities (arbitrary units) than patients without PAD. Multivariate logistic regression analyses, adjusted for systolic BP, DM duration, HbA1C test, and UAE, confirmed the associations between impaired autonomic modulation and PAD, except for P1 index. CONCLUSION In conclusion, patients with type 2 diabetes with PAD had lower HRV indices than patients without PAD, reflecting a dysfunction of cardiovascular autonomic modulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of waist circumference (WC) on heart rate variability in 87 apparently healthy, postmenopausal women. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, time- and frequency-domain heart rate variability indices were determined at rest and during sympathetic stimulation with mental stress. Patients were stratified according to WC ≥ or < 88 cm. The mean (± standard deviation) age was 55 ± 5 years. The median time since menopause was 6 (range 1-22) years. Age and time since menopause were similar. RESULTS The mean body mass index was 27.12 ± 4.49 kg/m². Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 26 (29.5%) participants. Thirty-eight participants (43.6%) had hypertension. Women with WC ≥ 88 cm had higher body mass index, glucose and insulin (both fasting and after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test), HOMA, triglycerides, and free androgen index (p < 0.05). The metabolic syndrome was more frequent in women with WC ≥ 88 cm (24.13% vs. 5.74%; p < 0.01). At rest, women with WC ≥ 88 cm presented lower vagal modulation, expressed by a reduction in the mean of all normal RR intervals (mean RR) (p < 0.01) and root mean square of successive differences of adjacent RR intervals (rMSSD) (p < 0.05) than women with WC < 88 cm. Mental stress significantly increased sympathetic modulation in both groups, expressed by reduction in high frequency (HF), increase in low frequency (LF) and LF/F ratio, and reduction in mean RR and rMSSD. CONCLUSIONS Less favorable metabolic profile and lower cardiac vagal modulation with preserved sympathetic responsiveness were found in participants with WC ≥ 88 cm, suggesting that central adiposity may be associated with decreased heart rate variability in apparently healthy, postmenopausal women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether heart rate variability (HRV) at rest and during sympathetic stimulation is disturbed in patients with different polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes in comparison to healthy controls. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENT(S) Thirty women with classic, anovulatory PCOS, 16 women with ovulatory PCOS, and 23 age-paired women with regular and proven ovulatory cycles. INTERVENTION(S) Anthropometric and hormonal evaluation and analysis of HRV (time and frequency domain HRV indices) at rest and after a mental stress test. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Difference between HRV components during rest and stress. RESULT(S) Mean age was 22.80 ± 5.80 years in patients with classic PCOS, 19.81 ± 6.43 years in ovulatory PCOS, and 22.65 ± 5.89 years in controls. During mental stress, patients with classic PCOS showed lower HRV response when compared with the control group, even after adjustment for body mass index (BMI) and age. When patients with classic and ovulatory PCOS were considered together, total T levels were inversely associated with the low frequency component, low frequency/high frequency ratio, and the difference between high frequency response at rest and after the stress test. CONCLUSION(S) Young patients with the classic PCOS phenotype have an impaired autonomic modulation in response to sympathetic stimulation that is typical of considerably older women, or of advanced age.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic effects of alcohol may be intermediated by its effects over heart rate variability (HRV). Most studies about the effects of alcohol over HRV were observational and did not explore the temporal influence of alcohol ingestion over autonomic modulation. The aim of this study was to verify if an acute ingestion of alcohol has a time-dependent influence over time-domain indices of HRV. The effect of the ingestion of 60 g of ethanol or placebo over autonomic modulation was compared in healthy men (35 per group), with 18-25 years of age, before and during 17 h after ingestion. Alcohol promoted a fall in the standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals, root mean square of successive differences, and percentage of pairs of adjacent R-R intervals differing by more than 50 ms and in two indices of the three-dimensional return map, by a period up to 10 h after the ingestion of alcohol, accompanied by an increase in heart rate. The indices returned to values similar of the control group 10 h after ingestion. The effects over HRV indices were attenuated by adjustment for heart rate. The ingestion of alcohol induces a broad cardiovascular adaptation secondary to vagal withdrawal and sympathetic activation that may be responsible for arrhythmogenic effects of alcohol ingestion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Various measures of autonomic function have been developed, and their applicability and significance during exercise are controversial. METHODS Physiological data were therefore obtained from 23 sport students before, during, and after exercise. Measures of R-R interval variability, QT variability index (QTvi), and electrodermal activity (EDA) were calculated. We applied an incremental protocol applying 70%, 85%, 100%, and 110% of the individual anaerobic threshold for standardized comparison. RESULTS Although HR increased stepwise, parasympathetic parameters such as the root mean square of successive differences were not different during exercise and do not mirror autonomic function satisfactorily. Similar results were observed with the approximate entropy of R-R intervals (ApEnRR). In contrast, the increase in sympathetic activity was well reflected in the EDA, QTvi, and ApEn of the QT interval (ApEnQT)/ApEnRR ratio. CONCLUSION We suggest that linear and nonlinear parameters of R-R variability do not adequately reflect vagal modulation. Sympathetic function can be assessed by EDA, QTvi, or ApEnQT/ApEnRR ratio.

Abstract
Endurance training decreases resting and submaximal heart rate, while maximum heart rate may decrease slightly or remain unchanged after training. The effect of endurance training on various indices of heart rate variability remains inconclusive. This may be due to the use of inconsistent analysis methodologies and different training programmes that make it difficult to compare the results of various studies and thus reach a consensus on the specific training effects on heart rate variability. Heart rate recovery after exercise involves a coordinated interaction of parasympathetic re-activation and sympathetic withdrawal. It has been shown that a delayed heart rate recovery is a strong predictor of mortality. Conversely, endurance-trained athletes have an accelerated heart rate recovery after exercise. Since the autonomic nervous system is interlinked with many other physiological systems, the responsiveness of the autonomic nervous system in maintaining homeostasis may provide useful information about the functional adaptations of the body. This review investigates the potential of using heart rate recovery as a measure of training-induced disturbances in autonomic control, which may provide useful information for training prescription.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the use of pre-operative heart rate variability analysis to predict postoperative cardiac events (identified by 24 h Holter-ECG recording and an increase of creatine kinase MB) in high-risk cardiac patients. Length of hospital stay, the incidence of postoperative cardiac ischaemia and cardiac events after discharge were recorded. Fifty patients were assigned by the presence of cardiac events and the heart rate variability in 17 patients with an event was compared with 33 patients without. Total power was identified as a predictive parameter. The usefulness of this test was assessed in a second group of 50 patients. The incidence of cardiac events detected by Holter-ECG recording or an increased creatine kinase MB was greater and the duration of hospital stay longer in the 26 patients with total power < 400 ms(2).Hz(-1) compared with those with total power > 400 ms(2).Hz(-1) (eight and four patients and 10 (7) days (mean (SD)), vs 1 (p < 0.05) and 0 (p < 0.05) patients and 6 (2) days (p < 0.05), respectively). The total power of high-risk cardiac patients predicted postoperative cardiac events and extended length of hospital stay.

Abstract
Between-person variability in pain sensitivity remains poorly understood. Given a conceptualization of pain as a homeostatic emotion, we hypothesized inverse associations between measures of resting heart rate variability (HRV), an index of autonomic regulation of heart rate that has been linked to emotionality, and sensitivity to subsequently administered thermal pain. Resting electrocardiography was collected, and frequency-domain measures of HRV were derived through spectral analysis. Fifty-nine right-handed participants provided ratings of pain intensity and unpleasantness following exposure to 4 degrees C thermal pain stimulation, and indicated their thresholds for barely noticeable and moderate pain during three exposures to decreasing temperature. Greater low-frequency HRV was associated with lower ratings of 4 degrees C pain unpleasantness and higher thresholds for barely noticeable and moderate pain. High-frequency HRV was unrelated to measures of pain sensitivity. Findings suggest pain sensitivity is influenced by characteristics of a central homeostatic system also involved in emotion.

Abstract
In patients with severe autonomic dysfunction, water ingestion elicits an acute pressor response. Hypertension may be associated with changes in cardiovascular autonomic modulation, but there is no information on the acute effects of water ingestion in patients with hypertension. In this study, we compared the effect of acute water ingestion on haemodynamic and autonomic responses of hypertensive and normotensive individuals. Eight patients with mild hypertension were compared to 10 normotensive individuals. After 30 min resting in the supine position all subjects ingested 500 ml of water. At baseline and after water ingestion, venous blood samples for plasma volume determination were collected, and electrocardiographic tracings, finger blood pressure, forearm blood flow and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) were obtained. Water ingestion resulted in similar and minor reduction in plasma volume. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased in both hypertensive (mean+/-s.d.: 19/14+/-6/3 mm Hg) and normotensive subjects (17/14+/-6/3 mm Hg). There was an increase in forearm vascular resistance and in MSNA. Heart rate was reduced (hypertensive: 5+/-1 beats/min, normotensive: 5+/-6 beats/min) and the high-frequency component of heart rate and systolic blood pressure variability was increased. In hypertensive and normotensive individuals, acute water ingestion elicits a pressor response, an effect that is most likely determined by an increased vasoconstrictor sympathetic activity, and is counterbalanced by an increase in blood pressure and heart rate vagal modulation.

Abstract
Breathing rates during physical exercise suggest that, during these conditions, the high-frequency (HF) bandwidth of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis should be extended beyond conventional guidelines. However, there has been little investigation of the most appropriate choice of HF bandwidth during exercise. HRV analysis was performed in 10 males and six females during progressive bicycle exercise. Cardiac cycle (RR) interval and breath-by-breath respiratory data were simultaneously recorded. HRV powers were determined for the band-limited ranges 0.04-0.15 Hz [low-frequency (LF)], 0.15-0.4 Hz (HF 0.4) and 0.15-bf Hz (HF bf, where bf represents maximum breathing frequency). Mono-exponential functions described the relationship between HRV and work rate for each bandwidth (r=0.92-0.95) and were used to calculate the "HRV decay constant" (work rate associated with a 50% reduction in HRV power). The HRV decay constants for each bandwidth were linearly related to maximal work rate (r>0.71; P<0.001) and were substantially greater in males than in females (P<0.001). There was a significant difference between the HRV decay constants for HF 0.4 and HF bf (P<0.005) in both genders. The HRV decay constants for the LF and HF bf bandwidths appear to provide an indication of work capacity from submaximal exercise, without prior assumption regarding heart rate and its relationship with work rate.

Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) has been widely used as a measure of vagal activation in physiological, psychological, and clinical examinations. We studied the within-subject quantitative relationship between HRV and vagal effects on the heart in different body postures during a gradually decreasing vagal blockade. Electrocardiogram and respiratory frequency were measured in subjects (8 endurance athletes and 10 participants of nonendurance sports) in supine, sitting, and standing postures before the blockade, under vagal blockade (atropine sulfate, 0.04 mg/kg), and four times during a 150-min recovery from the blockade. Fast Fourier transform was used to calculate low-frequency power (LFP, 0.04–0.15 Hz), high-frequency power (HFP, 0.15–0.40 Hz), and total power (TP, 0.04–0.40 Hz). A within-subject linear regression analysis of recovery time on each HRV index was conducted. Complete vagal blockade decreased all HRV significantly, particularly HFP ( P < 0.001). A linear fit explained a large portion of the within-subject variance between recovery time and natural log-transformed (ln) HRV indexes in every posture, with coefficients of determination ( R2) in the supine posture [means (SD)]: 98 (SD 2)% for mean R-R interval, 87 (SD 10)% for lnLFP, 87 (SD 13)% for lnHFP, and 91 (SD 10)% for lnTP. Neither body posture nor endurance-training background had an impact on R2 values. There was marked between-subject variation in the R2 values, slopes, and intercepts. In conclusion, all HRV, particularly HFP, is predominantly under vagal control. Within subjects, lnLFP, lnHFP, and lnTP increased linearly with the gradually decreasing vagal blockade in all postures.

Abstract
Postmenopausal women are at greater risk of coronary heart disease. The results of previous studies of the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on cardiac autonomic modulation in postmenopausal women have been contradictory. This study examined whether continuous treatment for 3 months with estradiol alone (ERT) or with estradiol plus norethisterone (HRT), increases 24-hour heart rate variability (HRV) in postmenopausal women. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 40 healthy postmenopausal women, 46-63 years of age, were randomly assigned to (1) continuous 2 mg of estradiol plus 1 mg of norethisterone acetate daily (HRT, n = 13), or (2) 2 mg of estradiol daily (ERT, n = 14), or (3) placebo (n = 13). Before and after 3 months of therapy, blood estradiol concentrations were measured and 24-hour electrocardiograms recorded for evaluation of 24-hour time-domain indices of HRV, and indices derived from the three-dimensional return map. Both hormone replacement regimens significantly increased blood estradiol concentrations, while no change occurred in the placebo group. In the three treatment groups, multiple 24-hour time-domain indices of HRV and indices derived from the three-dimensional return map remained unchanged. In healthy postmenopausal women, HRT with estradiol or estradiol and norethisterone for 3 months did not modify cardiac autonomic activity evaluated by 24-hour indices of HRV. These findings are consistent with a lack of protective cardiovascular effect of HRT described in recent large randomized trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased ventricular arrhythmia density and reduced heart rate variability are associated with risk of death in patients with heart failure. Cholinesterase inhibition with pyridostigmine bromide increases heart rate variability in normal subjects, but its effect on patients with heart failure is unknown. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that short-term administration of pyridostigmine bromide, a cholinesterase inhibitor, reduces ventricular arrhythmia density and increases heart rate variability in patients with congestive heart failure. METHODS Patients with heart failure and in sinus rhythm participated in a double-blind, cross-over protocol, randomized for placebo and pyridostigmine (30 mg orally 3 times daily for 2 days). Twenty-four hour electrocardiographic recordings were performed for arrhythmia analysis and for the measurement of time domain indices of heart rate variability. Patients were separated into 2 groups, according to their ventricular arrhythmia density. The arrhythmia group (n = 11) included patients with >10 ventricular premature beats (VPBs) per hour (VPBs/h), and the heart rate variability group (n = 12) included patients with a number of VPBs in 24 hours not exceeding 1% of the total number of R-R intervals. RESULTS For the arrhythmia group, pyridostigmine resulted in a 65% reduction of ventricular ectopic activity (placebo 266 +/- 56 VPBs/h vs pyridostigmine 173 +/- 49 VPBs/h, P =.03). For the heart rate variability group, pyridostigmine administration increased mean R-R interval (placebo 733 +/- 22 ms vs pyridostigmine 790 +/- 33 ms, P =.01), and in the time domain indices of heart rate variability root-mean-square of successive differences (placebo 21 +/- 2 ms vs pyridostigmine 27 +/- 3 ms, P =.01) and percentage of pairs of adjacent R-R intervals differing by >50 ms (placebo 3% +/- 1% vs pyridostigmine 6% +/- 2%, P =.03). CONCLUSION In patients with heart failure, pyridostigmine reduced ventricular arrhythmia density and increased heart rate variability, most likely due to its cholinomimetic effect. Long-term trials with pyridostigmine in heart failure should be conducted.

Abstract
AIMS To characterise the frequency response of short-term heart rate variability to external periodic perturbations in healthy and ischemic heart disease subjects. METHODS Eleven healthy men and 11 ischemic heart disease patients were enrolled in this study. The frequency response of heart rate variability was assessed during periodic eyes opening test and controlled breathing at frequencies ranging from 0.08 to 0.25 Hz using autoregressive spectral analysis. RESULTS In subjects of both groups the mean heart rate and blood pressure were unchanged across experimental sessions. In healthy subjects eyes opening at rate of 8 and 6 times/min (0.12 and 0.10 Hz) evoked high-power peaks (P<0.05) at the same frequencies in the R-R power spectrum. The largest frequency response of heart rate variability was seen during eyes opening at 0.1 Hz (P<0.05). Ischemic heart disease patients failed to respond to periodic eyes opening with any changes in heart rate variability. During controlled breathing healthy subjects showed the highest heart rate variability frequency responses when breath frequency was 0.1 Hz (P<0.05). Comparatively, patients with ischemic heart disease had reduced frequency responses of heart rate variability at all breath rates and its magnitude did not depend on the perturbation frequency. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that the frequency response of short-term heart rate variability to external periodic perturbations is dependent on the perturbation frequency and the presence disease processes in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the level of physical activity in older women on heart rate (HR) response to its neural control at rest and during exercise by using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded in 3 (low, moderately, and highly) active groups of older women at rest and during submaximal exercise. Spectral HRV indexes were obtained from the ECG signal. At rest, highly active subjects have low HR without any alteration of HRV. During incremental submaximal exercise, parasympathetic modulations of HR decreased only in the highly active subjects (p <.01) without any alteration of HR, compared with the other groups. In older women, the effects of the level of physical activity on HR and HRV are dissociated. Quite a high level of physical training induces a higher sensitivity of sinus node response to the autonomic nervous system during exercise.

Abstract
Long-term endurance training significantly influences how the autonomic nervous system controls heart function. Endurance training increases parasympathetic activity and decreases sympathetic activity in the human heart at rest. These two training-induced autonomic effects, coupled with a possible reduction in intrinsic heart rate, decrease resting heart rate. Long-term endurance training also decreases submaximal exercise heart rate by reducing sympathetic activity to the heart. Physiological ageing is associated with a reduction in parasympathetic control of the heart; this decline in parasympathetic activity can be reduced by regular endurance exercise. Some research has indicated that females have increased parasympathetic and decreased sympathetic control of heart rate. These gender-specific autonomic differences probably contribute to a decreased cardiovascular risk and increased longevity observed in females.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Despite the recognition that ventilator weaning is associated with a change in autonomic nervous system activity, there has not been any report concerning the change of heart rate variability (HRV), a reliable method to detect autonomic nervous system activity, in patients during weaning. The aim of this study was to investigate the change of autonomic nervous system activity during ventilator weaning by HRV analysis. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING A 16-bed medical ICU of a tertiary university hospital. PATIENTS Twenty-four patients receiving mechanical ventilation were included. Twelve patients with successful extubation after a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) [T-piece trial] were classified as the success group; otherwise, the patients were placed in the failure group. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Variables, including the total power (TP), and the high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) components of HRV, were measured in three phases: assist/control mandatory ventilation, pressure support ventilation (PSV), and SBT. While shifting from PSV to SBT, the HRV components decreased significantly in the failure group (TP, p = 0.025; LF, p = 0.007; HF, p = 0.031), but not in the success group. CONCLUSIONS By HRV analysis, reduced HRV and vagal withdrawal of the autonomic nervous system activity are the main changes in patients with weaning failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With aging, cardiac responses to β-adrenergic stimulation decline but the responses to α1-stimulation are less clear. Moreover, whether aging, in the absence of disease, influences the left ventricular response to an increase in afterload is unclear. This study examined the effect of aging on heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), cardiac index (CI) and several left ventricular contractility measurements during α 1-stimulation with a phenylephrine infusion. METHODS Subjects were rigorously screened to be normal by history, physical, blood tests, ECG, ETT and echocardiogram. Twelve young (mean 26 years, all male) and 15 aged (69 years, 11 males) subjects were studied during 10 minute infusions of phenylephrine at 0.5 and 1.0 mcg/ kg/min. HR, BP and radionuclide ventriculographic cardiac volumes were measured. RESULTS Systolic BP increased more in the aged than in the young (22 vs. 13%, p=0.003), while heart rate (16 vs. 21%, p=0.05) fell less. Contractile responses to phenylephrine, including EF, stroke volume index (SVI), stroke work index and left ventricular contractility index were not altered with aging. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) was higher at baseline and at each infusion rate, but there was no age-associate change in the response to PE. CONCLUSIONS In a healthy normal aged population, a preserved SVI response in the setting of a higher baseline SVR results in an increased SBP response to α1-stimulation. Contractile responses to increased afterload are not altered with aging. Age-associated differences in the response to α1-stimulation are small and are explained by altered baroreflex sensitivity and a stiffer vasculature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purposes of this study were to examine a new method to determine exercise intensity for obese people based on the cardiac vagal activity and to determine the effect of this approach on myocardial stress. SUBJECTS Forty-three middle aged obese female volunteers (age 43.7+/-6.5 y; height 1.56+/-0.05 m; body mass 66.5+/-9.3 kg; body mass index 27.3+/-2.8 kg m(2); percentage body fat 40.7+/-5.9%). MEASUREMENT In the first experiment, 43 subjects performed a ramp exercise test on a bicycle ergometer with measurement of ECG and gas exchange parameters. In the second experiment, 11 subjects performed 45 min of constant walking exercise on a treadmill at a level corresponding to exercise intensity determined by vagal activity obtained from a ramp bicycle test. Blood pressure, endothelin 1 (ET-1), catecholamine, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured before and after exercise. RESULTS The heart rate variability power decreased with increasing work rate, and changed little after reaching individual-specific work rate. We presumed that vagal activity disappeared at this point and that the heart rate at this exercise intensity was determined as the vagal activity threshold (T(VA)). The results showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.742, P<0.0001) between T(VA) and ventilatory threshold (VT) heart rates, although the mean heart rate of T(VA) (114.3+/-8.5 beats/min) was significantly lower (P<0.001) than that at VT (119.0+/-11.7), suggesting the cardiac vagal withdrawal occurred prior to the onset of lactate acidosis (lactic acid accumulation). Furthermore, exercise intervention experiment at T(VA) indicated that ET-1, catecholamine and BNP levels were not significantly different before and after exercise. However, ANP levels increased significantly after exercise (pre-exercise 18.6+/-5.38 vs post-exercise 44.0+/-24.87 pg/ml, P<0.001), which in turn brought about a significant post-exercise reduction in the blood pressure (SBP 117.6+/-13.7 vs 110.5+/-7.4 mmHg, P<0.05; DBP 78.6+/-6.7 vs 73.5+/-6.6 mmHg, P<0.01). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that it is possible to determine the exercise intensity (T(VA)) on the basis of cardiac vagal response. These results also suggest that exercise at T(VA) level is a safe exercise intensity in the light of cardiac stress, and that T(VA) may be recommended for obese people who might possess lower cardiac sympatho-vagal activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In the present study, we evaluated sinus and atrioventricular (AV) node electrophysiology of endurance athletes and untrained individuals before and after autonomic pharmacologic blockade. BACKGROUND Endurance athletes present a higher prevalence of sinus bradycardia and AV conduction abnormalities, as compared with untrained individuals. Previous data from our laboratory suggest that nonautonomic factors may be responsible for the longer AV node refractory period found in well-trained athletes. METHODS Six aerobically trained male athletes and six healthy male individuals with similar ages and normal rest electrocardiograms were studied. Maximal oxygen uptake (O(2)max) was measured by cardiopulmonary testing. The sinus cycle length (SCL), AV conduction intervals, sinus node recovery time (SNRT), Wenckebach cycle (WC) and anterograde effective refractory period (ERP) of the AV node were evaluated by invasive electrophysiologic studies at baseline, after intravenous atropine (0.04 mg/kg) and after addition of intravenous propranolol (0.2 mg/kg). RESULTS Athletes had a significantly higher O(2)max as compared with untrained individuals. The SCL was longer in athletes at baseline, after atropine and after the addition of propranolol for double-autonomic blockade. The mean maximal SNRT/SCL was longer in athletes after atropine and after propranolol. The WC and anterograde ERP of the AV node were longer in athletes at baseline, after atropine and after propranolol. CONCLUSIONS Under double-pharmacologic blockade, we demonstrated that sinus automaticity and AV node conduction changes of endurance athletes are related to intrinsic physiology and not to autonomic influences.
