Sri-Amad R, Huipao N, Sriwannawit P, Prasertsri P, Roengrit T. Comparison of Heart Rate Variability in Thai Older Adults with Hypertension, Pre-Hypertension, and Normotension. ScientificWorldJournal 2024; 2024:9631390. [PMID: 38808160 PMCID: PMC11132811 DOI: 10.1155/2024/9631390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aims to compare HRV variables across three cohorts: normotensive (NT), prehypertensive (pre-HT), and hypertensive (HT) and to assess the relationship between the blood pressure (BP) and HRV parameters. Methods Employing a cross-sectional design, 64 older participants were categorized based on the Joint National Committee's criteria into NT (n = 10), pre-HT (n = 33), and HT (n = 21) groups. Anthropometric data, lipid profiles, and HRV indices were evaluated. HRV data were obtained from the Polar V800 chest strap device using HRV Kubios software for data analysis of short-term recordings lasting 10 minutes. This analysis encompasses both time and frequency domain assessments. The time domain includes the standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), the root mean square of successive RR interval differences (RMSSD), and the percentage of successive RR intervals differing by over 50 ms (pNN50). The frequency domain includes low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and the ratio of LF-to-HF power (LF/HF). Data were statistically analyzed via one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation. Results The HT group exhibited significantly lower values in SDNN, pNN50, LF power, and HF power in comparison to the NT group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the HT group had a significantly lower SDNN value compared to the pre-HT group (P < 0.05). Inverse associations were uncovered between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and SDNN, pNN50, and HF power (P < 0.05). Multiple regression further highlighted the significance of systolic and pulse pressure concerning HF power (P < 0.05). Conclusions HRV indices are reduced in Thai older adults with HT compared with those with NT. Monitoring HRV in older adults can provide valuable insights into autonomic function and cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
The Rotterdam Study is a population-based cohort study, started in 1990 in the district of Ommoord in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with the aim to describe the prevalence and incidence, unravel the etiology, and identify targets for prediction, prevention or intervention of multifactorial diseases in mid-life and elderly. The study currently includes 17,931 participants (overall response rate 65%), aged 40 years and over, who are examined in-person every 3 to 5 years in a dedicated research facility, and who are followed-up continuously through automated linkage with health care providers, both regionally and nationally. Research within the Rotterdam Study is carried out along two axes. First, research lines are oriented around diseases and clinical conditions, which are reflective of medical specializations. Second, cross-cutting research lines transverse these clinical demarcations allowing for inter- and multidisciplinary research. These research lines generally reflect subdomains within epidemiology. This paper describes recent methodological updates and main findings from each of these research lines. Also, future perspective for coming years highlighted.

Ostrowska B, Lind L, Blomström‐Lundqvist C. An association between heart rate variability and incident heart failure in an elderly cohort. Clin Cardiol 2024; 47:e24241. [PMID: 38402572 PMCID: PMC10894618 DOI: 10.1002/clc.24241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early identification of individuals at risk of developing heart failure (HF) may improve poor prognosis. A dominant sympathetic activity is common in HF and associated with worse outcomes; however, less is known about the autonomic balance before HF. HYPOTHESIS A low frequency/high frequency (L-F/H-F) ratio, index of heart rate variability, and marker of the autonomic balance predict the development of HF and may improve the performance of the HF prediction model when added to traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. METHODS Individuals in the PIVUS (Prospective Investigation of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors) study (n = 1016, all aged 70 years) were included. Exclusion criteria were prevalent HF, electrocardiographic QRS duration ≥130 millisecond, major arrhythmias, or conduction blocks at baseline. The association between the L-F/H-F ratio and incident HF was assessed using Cox proportional hazard analysis. The C-statistic evaluated whether adding the L-F/H-F-ratio to traditional CV risk factors improved the discrimination of incident HF. RESULTS HF developed in 107/836 study participants during 15 years of follow-up. A nonlinear, inverse association between the L-F/H-F ratio and incident HF was mainly driven by an L-F/H-F ratio of <30. The association curve was flat for higher values (hazard ratio, HR for the total curve = 0.78 [95% confidence interval, CI: 0.69-0.88, p < .001]; HR = 2 for L-F/H-F ratio = 10). The traditional prediction model improved by 3.3% (p < .03) when the L-F/H-F ratio was added. CONCLUSIONS An L-F/H-F ratio of <30 was related to incident HF and improved HF prediction when added to traditional CV risk factors.

Beinaglutide for weight management in Chinese individuals with overweight or obesity: A phase 3 randomized controlled clinical study. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:690-698. [PMID: 37945546 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of beinaglutide as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention among non-diabetic Chinese individuals with overweight or obesity. METHODS This multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ChiCTR1900023428) included 427 Chinese adults with a body mass index of 28 kg/m2 or higher (obesity) or 24-27.9 kg/m2 (overweight) with weight-related complications. Patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive 0.2 mg of beinaglutide (subcutaneous) thrice daily or placebo for 16 weeks. Co-primary endpoints were body weight change and the proportion of patients with a weight reduction of 5% or more. RESULTS Mean body weight change from baseline to week 16 was -6.0% and -2.4% in the beinaglutide (n = 282) and placebo (n = 138) groups, respectively; the mixed model repeated measures difference was -3.6% (95% confidence interval: -4.6% to -2.6%; P < .0001). At week 16, more beinaglutide-treated patients achieved a weight reduction of 5% or more (58.2% vs. 25.4% [placebo], odds ratio: 4.4; P < .0001) and of 10% or more (21.3% vs. 5.1% [placebo], odds ratio: 5.5; P < .0001). Beinaglutide also resulted in greater waist circumference reduction (difference: -1.81 cm; P < .01). The weight regain rate 12 weeks after beinaglutide treatment was 0.78%. Nausea (transient and mild-to-moderate) was the most common adverse event in the beinaglutide group (49.3% vs. 7.1% [placebo]). More patients receiving beinaglutide discontinued treatment because of adverse events (5.9% vs. 0.7% [placebo]). Pancreatitis or an increased resting heart rate was not observed in the beinaglutide group. CONCLUSION Beinaglutide combined with lifestyle intervention resulted in significant and clinically meaningful weight reduction with good tolerance in non-diabetic Chinese individuals with overweight or obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiac autonomic function predicts cardiovascular disease risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sensitization to dust allergens and cardiac autonomic dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to provide new ideas for the prevention of cardiovascular complications in these patients. METHODS Immunoassays for sensitization to cats/dogs, cockroaches and dust mites were performed in 840 patients with COPD. Indicators of heart rate variability in these patients were used to assess cardiac autonomic function, including standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN), root-mean square of successive differences between normal-to-normal intervals (RMSSD), low-frequency power (LF), high-frequency power (HF), and LF/HF ratios, which were obtained based on ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring data. The relationship between sensitization to these dust allergens and heart rate variability was explored using multivariate logistic regression. FINDINGS The multivariate analyses showed that sensitization to total allergens was associated with reduced levels of SDNN, RMSSD, LF and HF and with increased levels of the LF/HF ratio in the patients with COPD (p < .05). CONCLUSION Dust allergen sensitization may be associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction in patients with COPD. Whether desensitization can prevent cardiovascular complications in these patients should be further explored.

Liu H, Wang X, Wang X. The correlation between heart rate variability index and vulnerability prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. PeerJ 2023; 11:e16377. [PMID: 38025754 PMCID: PMC10652843 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.16377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To explore the correlation between Heart Rate Variability Index (HRV) and poor prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods A retrospective compilation of clinical data encompassed 128 cases of patients afflicted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) who were admitted to and discharged from our hospital between April 2019 and July 2022. Subsequent to assessing their follow-up progress during the tracking period, the subjects were categorized into two cohorts: the poor prognosis group (n = 31) and the good prognosis group (n = 97). Comparative analysis of clinical data and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) parameters was executed between these two groups. Moreover, a multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify the contributing factors associated with adverse prognoses in ADHF patients. Furthermore, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to evaluate the prognostic predictive capability of HRV parameters among ADHF patients. Results The levels of SDNN (t = 3.924, P < 0.001), SDANN (t = 4.520, P < 0.001) and LF (t = 2.676, P = 0.018) in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The levels of PNN50 (t = 2.132, P = 0.035), HF (t = 11.781, P < 0.001) and LF/HF (t = 11.056, P < 0.001) in the poor prognosis group were significantly lower than those in the good prognosis group (P < 0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that SDNN, SDANN, LF, PNN50, and HF were factors influencing poor prognosis in ADHF patients (P < 0.05). The results of the ROC curve analysis indicate that the area under the curve (AUC) for predicting poor prognosis in ADHF patients using HRV parameters were as follows: SDNN (AUC = 0.818, 95% CI [0.722-0.914]), SDANN (AUC = 0.684, 95% CI [0.551-0.816]), PNN50 (AUC = 0.754, 95% CI [0.611-0.841]), LF/HF (AUC = 0.787, 95% CI [0.679-0.896]), and combined diagnosis (AUC = 0.901, 95% CI [0.832-0.970]). Among these, the combined diagnosis exhibited the highest AUC, sensitivity, and specificity for predicting poor prognosis in ADHF patients (P < 0.001). Conclusion The HRV parameters of SDNN, SDANN, PNN50 and LF/HF are closely related to the prognosis of ADHF patients. The combined detection of the above HRV parameters can improve the efficacy of predicting the poor prognosis of ADHF patients. This suggests that clinical staff can identify ADHF patients at risk of poor prognosis by long-term monitoring of HRV in the future.

Abstract
This systematic review presents clinical evidence on the association of heart rate variability with outcome prediction in intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages. The literature search led to the retrieval of 19 significant studies. Outcome prediction included functional outcome, cardiovascular complications, secondary brain injury, and mortality. Various aspects of heart rate recording and analysis, based on linear time and frequency domains and a non-linear entropy approach, are reviewed. Heart rate variability was consistently associated with poor functional outcome and mortality, while controversial results were found regarding the association between heart rate variability and secondary brain injury and cardiovascular complications.

Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13040856. [PMID: 37109385 PMCID: PMC10140812 DOI: 10.3390/life13040856] [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: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess whether the heart rate variability (HRV) could predict a favorable or unfavorable stroke outcome. The endpoint was based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The patient's health condition was assessed upon discharge from the hospital. An unfavorable stroke outcome was defined as death or NIHSS ≥ 9, while NIHSS < 9 meant a favorable stroke outcome. The studied group consisted of 59 patients with acute ischemic stroke AIS (mean age of 65.6 ± 13.2; 58% were females). An original and innovative non-linear measure was used to analyze HRV. It was based on symbolic dynamics consisting of comparing the "length of the longest words" in the night recording of HRV. "The length of the longest word" meant the longest sequence of identical adjacent symbols possible for a patient. An unfavorable stroke outcome occurred in 22 patients, whereas the majority of patients (37) had a favorable stroke outcome. The average hospitalization time of patients with clinical progression was 29 ± 14 days, and with favorable outcomes was 10 ± 3 days. Patients with long words (more than 150 adjacent RR intervals having the same symbol) were hospitalized no longer than 14 days and they had no clinical progression. The patients with a favorable stroke outcome were characterized by longer words. Our pilot study may be the beginning of work on the development of a non-linear, symbolic method as a predictor of prolonged hospitalization and increased risk of clinical progression in patients with AIS.

Abstract
Traditional measures of clinical status and physiology have generally been based in health care settings, episodic, short in duration, and performed at rest. Wearable biosensors provide an opportunity to obtain continuous non-invasive physiologic data from patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) in the real-world setting, over longer durations, and across varying levels of activity. However, there are significant technical limitations to the use of wearable biosensors in CHD. Here, we review current applications of wearable biosensors in CHD; how clinical and research uses of wearable biosensors must consider various CHD physiologies; the technical challenges in developing wearable biosensors for CHD; and special considerations for digital biomarkers in CHD.

Influence of Two Exercise Programs on Heart Rate Variability, Body Temperature, Central Nervous System Fatigue, and Cortical Arousal after a Heart Attack. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 20:199. [PMID: 36612521 PMCID: PMC9819636 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20010199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs' benefits are overall consensual; however, during exercise, progressive physiological effects have not been studied yet in cardiac patients. Our study aims to analyze physiological parameters of thermography, heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure, central nervous system (CNS) fatigue, and cortical arousal in heart attack patients (HAP) who belong to CR programs of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate-intensity Continuous Training (MICT) compared to healthy participants. In this case control study, two HAP patients (both male, age 35 and 48, respectively) and two healthy people (both male, age 38 and 46, respectively) were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1 allocation ratio to one of four groups: cardiac MICT, cardiac HIIT, control MICT, and control HIIT. The HIIT at ≈85-95% of peak heart rate (HR) was followed by a one-minute recovery interval at 40% peakHR, and MICT at ≈70-75% of peakHR. Outcome measurements included thermography, HRV, blood pressure, CNS fatigue, and cortical arousal; The HAP presents more than twice the CNS fatigue in MICT than control participants, but HIIT has almost the same CNS fatigue in HAP and control. In addition, both of the HAP groups presented higher temperatures in the chest. The HIIT protocol showed better physiological responses during exercise, compared to MICT in HAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex differences and causality of the association between heart rate variability (HRV) and atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population remain unclear. METHODS 12,334 participants free of AF from the population-based Rotterdam Study were included. Measures of HRV including the standard deviation of normal RR intervals (SDNN), SDNN corrected for heart rate (SDNNc), RR interval differences (RMSSD), RMSSD corrected for heart rate (RMSSDc), and heart rate were assessed at baseline and follow-up examinations. Joint models, adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors, were used to determine the association between longitudinal measures of HRV with new-onset AF. Genetic variants for HRV were used as instrumental variables in a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary-level data. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 9.4 years, 1302 incident AF cases occurred among 12,334 participants (mean age 64.8 years, 58.3% women). In joint models, higher SDNN (fully-adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.24, 1.04-1.47, p = 0.0213), and higher RMSSD (fully-adjusted HR, 95% CI 1.33, 1.13-1.54, p = 0.0010) were significantly associated with new-onset AF. Sex-stratified analyses showed that the associations were mostly prominent among women. In MR analyses, a genetically determined increase in SDNN (odds ratio (OR), 95% CI 1.60, 1.27-2.02, p = 8.36 × 10-05), and RMSSD (OR, 95% CI 1.56, 1.31-1.86, p = 6.32 × 10-07) were significantly associated with an increased odds of AF. CONCLUSION Longitudinal measures of uncorrected HRV were significantly associated with new-onset AF, especially among women. MR analyses supported the causal relationship between uncorrected measures of HRV with AF. Our findings indicate that measures to modulate HRV might prevent AF in the general population, in particular in women.
