  • Changes and Significancy of Adrenomedullin, Atrial Natriuretic Polypeptide and Heart Rate Variability in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome

    Objective To investigate the changes and clinical relationship of plasma adrenomedullin( ADM) , atrial natriuretic polypeptide( ANP) , and heart rate variability( HRV) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) . Methods Seventy-five inpatients with OSAHS were enrolled in this study. According to the apnea hypopnea index ( AHI) by polysomnography, the subjects were divided into a mild group, a moderate group, and a severe group. Meanwhile, HRV was screened bydynamic electrocardiogram in sleep laboratory. HRV parameters were obtained including LF ( low frequency power) , HF( high frequency power) , pNN50( percentage of NN50 in the total number of N-N intervals) ,SDNN( standard deviation of the N-N intervals) , rMSSD( square root of the mean squared differences of successive N-N intervals ) . Plasma levels of ADM/ANP were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results The levels of SDNN ( P lt;0. 05) , rMSSD, pNN50, LF ( P lt; 0. 05) and HF were gradually reduced, and the levels of ADM ( P lt;0. 05) and ANP ( P lt; 0. 05) were increased with increasing severity of OSAHS. Linear correlation analysis demonstrated that SDNN was negatively correlated with ADM( r = - 0. 423, P lt;0. 05)and ANP( r = - 0. 452, P lt; 0. 05) , and LF was also negatively correlated with ADM( r = - 0. 348, P lt;0. 05) . Conclusion Lower HRV is associated with more sever OSAHS, and it may be modulated neurohumorally by ADM and ANP.

  • Changes of Dynamic Electrocardiogram and Heart Rate Variability in Patients Underwent Bronchofiberscopy and Effects of Different Preoperative Medication

    Objective To assess the changes of cardiac autonomic nerves’s function in patients underwent bronchofiberscopy by observing the dynamic electrocardiogram ( DCG) and heart rate variability ( HRV) , and investigate the effect of different preoperative medications on heart function.Methods Eighty patients underwent bronchofiberscopy were randomly divided into three groups according to different anaesthesia. Group A ( n =30) were local anaesthetized by nebulized lidocaine, group B ( n = 30) received atropine 1 mg injection intramuscularly and nebulized lidocaine, group C ( n = 20) were anaesthetized bypropofol intravenously. The DCG and HRV of three groups were mornitored at pre-inductive point( T0 ) , post inductive point ( T1 ) , point during the operation ( T2 ) , and point after operation ( T3 ) .Results The incidences of ST-T change, tachycardia, and bearing premature in group A and B were increased. The incidence of tachycardia in group C was also increased, but lower than group A and B while the ST-T change and bearing premature were milder ( P lt;0. 05) . Episodes of bradycardia occurred 3 times in group A andnone in group B and C ( P lt;0. 01) . The low-frequency ( LF) , high-frequency ( HF) , total power ( TP) in group A and B were raised, but the LF was highly raised, and the LF/HF and HRV significantly decreased.The LF/HF and HRV decreased lightly in group C ( P gt; 0. 05) . Conclusions Bronchofiberscopy examination can decrease HRV and induce arrhythmia and ST-T change, but also excite vagus nerve. Atropine can inhibit the excitability of vagus nerve and have no influence on HRV. The propofol may obviously decrease the sympathetic nervous activation, balance sympathetic and vagus nerves, which is beneficial to the stability of hemodynamics.

  • Correlation between Intima-media Thickness of Carotid Artery in Color Ultrasonography and Heart Rate Variability

    ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid artery in color ultrasonography and the heart rate variability. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed in 64 patients from West China Hospital of Sichuan University between March and May 2013. Carotid intima-media thickness was measured with color ultrasonography and dynamic electrocardiogram, and the heart rate variability was assayed at the same time. ResultsIMT in the cardiovascular disease group, combination group, coronary heart disease group and hypertension group was significantly thicker than the control group (P<0.05). The differences of SDNN and SDANN were statistically significant (P<0.05) between the combination group and the control group. There were 23 cases with IMT ≥ 1.0 mm in the cardiovascular disease group including 8 cases in the combination group, 10 cases in the coronary heart disease group and 5 cases in the hypertension group. IMT in those groups were all significantly higher than that in the control group with only 2 cases having IMT ≥ 1.0 mm (P<0.05). There were 18 cases with SDNN<100 ms in the cardiovascular disease group including 7 cases in the combination group, 6 cases in the coronary heart disease group and 5 cases in the hypertension group, but there was no statistically significant difference compared with that in the control group with only 11 cases (P>0.05). Negative correlation was found between IMT and SDNN, SDANN in the cardiovascular diseases group (r=-0.574, -0.544; P<0.01) and negative correlation was found between IMT and SDANN in the control group (r=-0.392, P<0.05). ConclusionThe carotid artery lesions and autonomic nerve especially sympathetic nerve dysfunction are obvious in patients with cardiovascular diseases and there is a negative correlation between them.

  • Prediction of new atrial fibrillation after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting based on preoperative heart rate variability: A retrospective study

    ObjectiveTo study the relationship between preoperative heart rate variability (HRV) and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 290 patients who were admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from May to September 2020 and received OPCAB. There were 217 males and 73 females aged 36-80 years. According to the incidence of POAF, the patients were divided into two groups: a non-atrial fibrillation group (208 patients) and an atrial fibrillation group (82 patients). The time domain and frequency domain factors of mean HRV 7 days before operation were calculated: standard deviation of all normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN), root mean square of successive differences, percentage difference between adjacent normal-to-normal intervals that were greater than 50 ms, low frequency power (LF), high frequency power (HF), LF/HF. ResultsThe HRV value of patients without POAF was significantly lower than that of patients with POAF (P<0.05). The median SDNN of the two groups were 78.90 ms and 91.55 ms, respectively. Age (OR=3.630, 95%CI 2.015-6.542, P<0.001), left atrial diameter (OR=1.074, 95%CI 1.000-1.155, P=0.046), and SDNN (OR=1.017, 95%CI 1.002-1.032, P=0.024) were independently associated with the risk of POPAF after OPCAB. Conclusion SDNN may be an independent predictor of POAF after OPCAB.

  • Effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on heart rate variability: a meta-analysis

    Objective To systematically review the effect of percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TEAS) on heart rate variability (HRV). Methods The PubMed, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation on heart rate variability from inception to February 28, 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 14 RCTs involving 719 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that SDNN (MD=12.95, 95%CI 9.18 to 16.72, P<0.01), RMSSD (MD=1.81, 95%CI 0.10 to 3.53, P=0.04), pNN50 (MD=1.75, 95%CI 1.02 to 2.48, P<0.01), HF (SMD=0.27, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.52, P=0.04), LF/HF (MD=−0.07, 95%CI −0.12 to −0.03, P<0.01), ln-LF (MD=0.63, 95%CI 0.25 to 1.01, P<0.01), ln-HF (MD=1.05, 95%CI 0.60 to 1.49, P<0.01), mean RR (MD=−11.86, 95%CI −21.77 to −1.96, P=0.02), and HR (SMD=−0.43, 95%CI −0.66 to −0.20, P<0.01) all showed improvement compared with the control group. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in LF (SMD=0.15, 95%CI −0.10 to 0.40, P=0.23), LF norm (SMD=0.24, 95%CI −0.10 to 0.58, P=0.16) or HF norm (SMD=0.25, 95%CI −0.47 to 0.97, P=0.5). TEAS on PC6: SDNN, pNN50, HF, LF/HF, LF norm, HF norm, ln-LF, ln-HF, and HR all showed improvement compared with the control group. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in RMSSD, LF, or RR interval. Conclusion This study supports the improvement of heart rate variability by transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation and PC6 acupoint selection. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.

  • Predictive value of systolic pulmonary artery pressure on autonomic nerve excitation in 186 patients with valvular disease: A prospective study

    ObjectiveTo explore the predictive value of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) on autonomic nerve excitation in patients with valvular disease, so as to provide reference for the formulation of clinical intervention plans. Methods The clinical data of patients with valvular disease who received surgical treatment in the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from August 28, 2020 to February 3, 2021 were prospectively collected. According to the standard deviation of normal-to-normal R-R intervals (SDNN) of the heart rate variability (HRV) of the long-range dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) 7 days before the operation, the patients were divided into three groups: a sympathetic dominant (SE) group (SDNN≤50 ms), a balance group (50 ms<SDNN<100 ms) and a parasympathetic dominant (PSE) group (SDNN≥100 ms). The correlation between the changes of echocardiographic indexes and autonomic nerve excitation among the groups and the predictive values were analyzed. Results A total of 186 patients were enrolled, including 108 males and 78 females aged 55.92±11.99 years. There were 26 patients in the SE group, 104 patients in the balance group, and 56 patients in the PSE group. The left anteroposterior diameter (LAD), left ventricular end diastolic inner diameter, ratio of peak E to peak A of mitral valve (Em/Am), left ventricular end diastolic volume, left ventricular end systolic volume and SPAP in the SE group were higher than those in the balance group (P<0.05), while peak A of tricuspid valve (At) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were lower than those in the balance group (P<0.05). The LAD and Em/Am in the balance group were significantly higher than those in the PSE group (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that patients in the SE group had lower At (right atrial systolic function declines), lower LVEF and higher SPAP than those in the balance group (P=0.04, 0.04 and 0.00). When HRV increased and parasympathetic nerve was excited in patients with valvular disease, Em/Am decreased (left atrial function and/or left ventricular diastolic function declined) with a normal LAD. Pearson analysis showed that there was a linear negative correlation between SPAP and SDNN, with a coefficient of −0.348, indicating that the higher SPAP, the lower HRV and the more excited sympathetic nerve. Receiver operating characteristic curve showed that when SPAP≥45.50 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), the sensitivity and specificity of sympathetic excitation in patients with valvular disease were 84.60% and 63.70%, respectively. ConclusionParasympathetic excitation is an early manifestation of the disease, often accompanied by decreased left atrial function and/or left ventricular diastolic function. Sympathetic nerve excitation can be accompanied by the increase of SPAP and the decrease of left ventricular and right atrial systolic function. SPAP has a unique predictive value for the prediction of autonomic nerve excitation in patients with valvular disease.
