Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death globally with hypertension being a primary cause of premature death from this disease process. Individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease and hypertension are at a greater risk for developing the same sequela. Autonomic cardiac control is important in the level of cardiac function. One intervention that is effective in improving cardiovascular function is heart rate variability biofeedback training. The purpose of our study was to determine the effectiveness of heart rate biofeedback training on HRV and blood pressure in individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease. Methods Thirty-four participants (76.5% female, 22.7 ± 4.3 years) completed a baseline assessment and training using an established short-term HRV protocol followed by two weeks of at-home paced breathing employing a smartphone application. The participants were then reassessed in a biofeedback clinic. Results The participants physiological measures showed a significant increase in means between pre and post intervention of SDNN (t (32) = 2.177, p =.037) and TP, (t (32) = 2.327 p = .026). Correlation noted a medium effect on diastolic blood pressure and high frequency heart rate variability, F, r = .41, n =33, p < .05. A multiple regression with all predictor variables in the model found no significance with diastolic and systolic blood pressure. Conclusions The findings from this pilot study demonstrated that a two-week paced breathing intervention may assist in reducing heart rate and diastolic blood pressure while improving heart rate variability.

A 27-year-old woman from and resident in ourika(Marrakesh region – Morocco) with a history of anemia under iron treatment, without a history of surgery, has G1 P1. Presented to the Mohamed VI University Hospital on day 21 post partum of a vaginal birth at home, the evolution was marked by the appearance of urinary incontinence treated in the emergency room by placing a catheter urinary on day 6 post partum then send to her home for the COVID 19 context, then the patient consulted again at the gyneco-obstetric emergency room for deterioration of the general condition in a picture of hemodynamic shock. On physical examination, the patient was hemodynamically unstable with blood pressure figures of 70/40 mmhg, heart rate at 50 bpm, temperature at 35 ° and mucosal skin pallor.Examination of the vaginal cavity showed the presence of numerous whitish-looking maggots, a sample was taken by the biology team that collected the maggots for the purpose of a parasitological study to identify the parasite responsible.

Intro: The natural history of cardiac function in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is incompletely described, as are heart rate patterns pre- and post-ablation. Goals: Examine autonomic status pre- and post-ablation using cardiac data (n=346) captured by implanted recorders Methods: Daily records (90-day pre to 365-day post ablation) were analyzed to extract parameters viz. heart rate variability (HRV), daytime heart rate (DHR) and nighttime heart rate (NHR). Analysis of variance was used to assess relationships between covariates (age, sex, etc.) and pre-post changes in parameters. We define "success" as patients who had no recurrence during post-ablation period per guidelines (“failed” otherwise). Results: Prior to ablation, mean DHR, NHR, and HRV were 69±10bpm, 60±9bpm, 122±32msec, respectively. After PVI, there was an immediate increase of ~5bpm in DHR (P<1e-4) and a more pronounced increase of ~11bpm in NHR (P<1e-4). HRV exhibited an immediate post-ablation peak decreasing by ~60msec (P<1e-4), with rapid recalibration over the first 10 post ablation days (increase of 20-25msec). Antiarrhythmic drug-use was a significant factor only in explaining changes in HRV (P=0.0126), while age was a significant factor only for the changes in DHR (P<1e-4). Comparing between subgroups, DHR and NHR were generally higher in the success than the failed group. At baseline, older patients (92 patients were of age>65years) had a significantly lower DHR and NHR than younger patients (117 were of age<56years). These age-based differences were amplified post ablation in DHR and NHR, but not HRV. Conclusions: PVI results in significant and sustained changes in heart rate parameters related to autonomic function. This relationship was observed globally, with the success group having significantly greater rises in DHR and NHR when compared to the failed group. Future work will explore whether these patterns exist in different cohorts.
