Background: The modulation of heart rate by autonomic nervous system may be evaluated by the heart rate variability (HRV), which illustrates the fluctuations between RR intervals. To evaluate this analysis, the intervals between 2 QRS complexes are measured. In general, high HRV values are expected in healthy individuals; otherwise, low values are indicative of organism dysfunction. Studies conducted in healthy humans show that HRV suffers reduction with ageing and that there is autonomic immaturity in neonates. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristic pattern of cardiac autonomic behavior in healthy dogs in different age groups through short-term HRV analysis.Materials, Methods & Results: A total of 87 healthy dogs were studied. HRV was analyzed in time and frequency domain, using Holter and heart rate monitor. It was observed that puppies (below one year old) presented a lower parasympathetic predominance and, consequently, lower HRV values on time domain (SDNN, PNN50% e RMSSD) compared to the other 2 groups and on frequency domain (LF, HF and LF/HF) compared to the adult animals group (between 1 and 7-year-old), which presented higher HRV values when compared to the other groups. Elderly dogs (over 8-year-old) exhibited a natural tendency to decrease cardiac parasympathetic HRV indexes.Discussion: The use of the HRV method as a prognostic index and as an arrhythmogenic marker for various canine heart diseases presents interesting perspectives. However, before it may be employed for these purposes, a better understanding should be established regarding the physiological behavior of autonomic cardiac modulation in different age groups to serve as a basis for future analyses. This study observed that puppies presented higher values for HR and, therefore, shorter RR intervals than the other groups (adult and elderly dogs), what was observed on Holter and heart rate monitor methods (HRM). There were significant differences between puppies and the other 2 groups (adults and elderly) for all time-domain variables using both methods (Holter and HRM methods). SDNN was significantly lower in puppies compared to adults and elderly dogs. In addition, both RMSSD and PNN50%, which were more reliable over shorter periods of time, also presented means and medians that were significantly lower in puppies. Regarding frequency-domain HRV parameters observed on Holter method, these indexes were decreased on the elderly group compared to adult dogs, which is a possible effect of aging. Also, puppies revealed lower frequency-domain HRV parameters on both methods when compared to adult dogs. The influence of age on HRV is possibly related to the stage of development of an individual, starting at conception up to the maturity in relation to the mechanisms that cause variations in HR. There are studies in humans that suggest a gradual increase in parasympathetic activity during childhood, followed by a steady decrease as aging occur. The present study observed the same pattern in dogs. The balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems is influenced by age in dogs, which alters HRV values in the short-term. The HRV method´s analysis is relatively simple and non-invasive for assessing cardiac autonomic function; also, it is widely used in human medicine as a risk measure for sudden cardiac death. The 24-hour HRV analysis is highly challenging, as it is time-consuming, expensive, delays diagnosis, and has a large number of artifacts; in this way, standards for its short-term analysis were developed. Keywords: cardiology, autonomic nervous system, heart rate monitor, Holter.

Objective To analyze the relation between smoking and passive smoking with heart rate variability parameters in male adolescents. Methods The sample consisted of 1,152 males, aged 14 and 19 years. Data related to smoking and passive smoking were collected using a questionnaire. RR intervals were obtained by a heart rate monitor, on supine position, for 10 minutes. After collecting the RR intervals, time (standard deviation of all RR intervals, root mean square of the squared differences between adjacent normal RR intervals and the percentage of adjacent intervals over 50ms) and frequency domains (low and high frequency and sympathovagal balance) parameters of heart rate variability were obtained. Results No significant differences between smoker and nonsmoker adolescents were observed in heart rate variability parameters (p>0.05). Similarly, heart rate variability parameters did not show significant difference between exposed and not exposed to passive smoking (p>0.05). Conclusion Cigarette smoking and passive smoking are not related to heart rate variability in adolescence.

Background: Autonomic dysfunction (AD) as measured by heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and breast cancer. No study has utilized a large prospective multi-center cohort of diverse women to assess differences in HRV associated with incident breast cancer. Objectives: To identify heart rate variability changes in women with breast cancer compared to controls in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI). Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, we utilized 5,031 women in the WHI CT cohort who were breast cancer free at baseline and compared 1) those with incident breast cancer v. 2) those who were breast cancer free during the ECG follow-up period as controls. HRV was calculated utilizing 10-second ECG with two measures of two-domain HRV: standard deviation of all normal-to-normal RR intervals (SDNN) and the root mean square of successive differences in normal-to-normal RR intervals (rMSSD). HRV was measured from ECGs collected at baseline, years 3, 6, and 9 in the comparison groups. An adjusted mixed linear model was used to evaluate the differences in SDNN and rMSSD comparing women with incident breast cancer to controls. Cardiovascular risk factors utilized in the adjusted model were determined via questionnaire at baseline. Results: At baseline, women with incident breast cancer diagnosed by years 3, 6, or 9 were significantly older (median age 63 vs. 61, P<0.0001) and had a higher prevalence of hypertension (35% vs. 32%, P=0.02). SDNN at years 3 and 6 in women with breast cancer compared to controls was significantly lower (P=0.0002, P=0.03 respectively). As well, rMSSD was significantly lower at year 3 compared to controls (P<0.0001) ( Figure 1 ). Conclusions: HRV as a measure of AD is significantly lower in women with incident breast cancer compared to women without breast cancer. Reduction in HRV is associated with CVD outcomes in the literature. Our study suggests HRV may predict CVD in breast cancer patients.

The study purpose was estimation of the accuracy of RR time series measurements by SHC “Rytm” and validity of derived heart rate variability (HRV) indexes under physical loads and recovery period. Materials and methods. The participants were 20 healthy male adults aged 19.7 ± 0.23 years. Data was recorded simultaneously with CardioLab CE12, Polar RS800, and SHC “Rytm”. Test protocol included a 2 minute step test (20 steps per minute, platform height – 40 cm) with the next 3 minute recovery period. HRV indexes were calculated by Kubios HRV 2.1. Results. The RR data bias in the case of physical loads was -0.06 ms, it increased to 0.09-0.33 ms during the recovery period. The limits of agreement for RR data ranged from 3.7 ms to 22.8 ms, depending on the period of measurements and pair of compared devices. It is acceptable for the heart rate and HRV estimation. The intraclass correlation coefficients (0.62–1.00) and Spearman correlation coefficient (0.99) were high enough to suggest very high repeatability of the data. We found no significant difference (p > 0.05) and good correlation (r = 0.94-1.00) between the majority of HRV indexes, calculated from data of Polar RS800 and SHC “Rytm” in conditions of physical loads (except for LF/HF ratio) and in the recovery period. The only one index (RMSSD) was different (p < 0.05) in case of Polar RS800 and SHC “Rytm” data, obtained in the recovery period. The largest numbers of different HRV indexes have been found during the comparison of CardioLab CE12 and Polar RS800 – RMSSD, pNN50, and SD1. Correlation between HRV indexes (r = 0.81-1.00) was very high in all pairs of devices in all periods of measurements. Conclusions. The SHC “Rytm” appears to be acceptable for RR intervals registration and the HRV analysis during physical loads and recovery period.

Background/Aim. After myocardial infarction arrhythmic cardiac deaths are significantly more frequent compared to non-arrhythmic ones. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the frequency and complexity of ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction. Methods. The study included 293 patients, mean age 59.5 ? 9.21 years, who were at least six months after acute myocardial infarction with the sinus rhythm, without atrioventricular blocks and branch blocks. In the clinical group 95 (32.42%) patients were with T2DM, while 198 (67.57%) patients were without diabetes. All of the patients were subjected to the following procedures: standard ECG according to which the corrected QT dispersion (QTdc) was calculated, exercise stress test, and 24-hour holter monitoring according to which, the four parameters of time domain of heart rate variability (HRV) were analyzed: standard deviation of all normal RR intervals during 24 hours (SDNN), standard deviation of the averages of normal RR intervals in all five-minute segments during 24 hours (SDANN), the square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of differences between adjacent normal (RMS-SD), and percentage of consequtive RR intervals which differed for more than 50 ms during 24 hours (NN > 50 ms). Results. In patients after myocardial infarction, patients with T2DM had significantly higher percentage of frequent and complex ventricular arrhythmias compared to the patients without diabetes (p < 0.001). The patients with T2DM had significantly higher percentage of residual ischemia (p < 0.001), and arterial hypertension (p < 0.001), compared to patients without diabetes. The patients with T2DM had significantly lower values of HRV parameters: SDNN (p < 0.001); SDANN (p < 0.001); RMS-SD (p < 0.001), and NN > 50 ms (p < 0.001), and significantly higher values of QTdc (p < 0.001) compared to the patients without diabetes. Conclusion. The study showed that type 2 diabetes mellitus has significant influence on ventricular arrhythmias, HRV parameters and QT dispersion in patients after myocardial infarction.

Detrended Fluctuation

During the past two decades, most studies have employed questionnaires to characterize the effects of noise on behavior and health. Developments in physiological techniques have provided a noninvasive method for recording cardiovascular autonomic activity by using an electrocardiogram (ECG). We investigated cardiovascular activity changes in exposure to exposure to low-frequency noise for various noise intensities by using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) of heart rate variability (HRV). We hypothesized that distinct noise intensities would affect cardiovascular activity, which would be reflected in the HRV and DFA parameters. A total of 17 healthy volunteers participated in this study. The test intensities of noises were no noise, 70-dBC, 80-dBC, and 90-dBC. Each noise was sustained for 5 minutes and the ECG was recorded simultaneously. The cardiovascular responses were evaluated using DFA of the beat-to-beat (RR) intervals obtained from ECG signals. The results showed that the mean RR intervals variability and mean blood pressure did not substantially change relative to the noises. However, the short-term scaling exponent (α1) of the DFA of the background noise (no noise) condition was lower than the 70-dBC, 80-dBC and 90-dBC noises (P< 0.05, repeated measures analysis of variance). The α1of 90-dBC noise was significantly higher than the α1of BN condition according to a Mann–Whitney U test (P< 0.01). We concluded that exposure to low-frequency noise significantly affects the temporal correlations of HRV, but it does not influence RR intervals variability.
