Background: Fingolimod modulates sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors that are also found in cardiovascular tissue. Objective: To investigate the effects of fingolimod on cardiac autonomic regulation prospectively. Methods: Twenty-seven relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis patients underwent 24-hour electrocardiogram recording before, at the first day of fingolimod treatment (1d) and after three months of continuous dosing (3mo). The time interval between two consecutive R-peaks (RR-interval) was measured. Cardiac autonomic regulation was assessed by the various parameters of heart rate variability. Parasympathetic stimulation prolongs the RR-interval and increases heart rate variability while the effects of sympathetic stimulation are mainly the opposite. The low frequency/high frequency ratio reflects sympathovagal balance. Results: From baseline to 1d, a prolongation of the RR-interval ( P<0.001), an increase in the values of various heart rate variability parameters ( P<0.05 to P<0.001) and a decrease in the low frequency/high frequency ratio ( P<0.05) were demonstrated. At 3mo, although the RR-interval remained longer ( P<0.01), the values of various heart rate variability parameters were lower ( P<0.01 to P<0.001) as compared to baseline. At 3mo, the low frequency/high frequency ratio ( P<0.05) was higher in men than in women although no such difference was found at baseline or at 1d. Conclusions: After an initial increase in parasympathetic regulation, continuous fingolimod dosing shifts cardiac autonomic regulation towards sympathetic predominance, especially in men. Careful follow-up of fingolimod-treated relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis patients is warranted as sympathetic predominance associates generally with impaired outcome.

To clarify the physiological and psychological effects of deep breathing, the effects of extreme prolongation of expiration breathing (Okinaga) were investigated using electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG). Participants were five male Okinaga practitioners in their 50s and 60s. Participants performed Okinaga for 31 minutes while continuous EEG and ECG measurements were taken. After 16 minutes of Okinaga, and until the end of the session, the percentages of theta and alpha 2 waves were significantly higher than at baseline. After 20 minutes, and until the end of the session, the percentage of beta waves was significantly lower than at baseline. The high frequency component of heart rate variability was significantly lower after 12 minutes of Okinaga and lasted until 23 minutes. The low frequency/high frequency ratio was significantly lower after 18 minutes of Okinaga and until the end of the session. Okinaga produced relaxation, suggesting that deep breathing may relieve anxiety. However, study limitations include potential ambiguity in the interpretation of the low frequency/high frequency ratio, the small sample, and the fact that EEG was measured only on the forehead.
