Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Main funding source(s): North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov Objective to study the features of autonomic regulation of sinus rhythm features of autonomic regulation of cardiac sinus rhythm in patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) during inpatient stay in hospital. Materials and methods. The study included 25 female patients (the median age 57.5 ± 28.5 years) with TTS, diagnosis was based on the InterTAK criteria. On the 5-7th day after admission, the heart rate variability (HRV) was assessed both at rest and cardiac autonomic function tests: the deep breathing test (DBT) and active orthostatic test (AOT) with the usage of a computer diagnostic system «Valenta». RESULTS According to HRV data, initially at rest, the majority of the studied patients predominantly had a parasympathetic impact on the heart rate regulation: in 70% - increased parasympathetic influence, in 17% - increased sympathetic influence, in 13% - a balanced heart rate regulation. When performing a DBT, the predominance of the parasympathetic influence on the heart rate was noted both in spectral parameters and according to the data of time analysis (HF  during DBT  increased 1.8 times  up to  489.6 ± 114.2 ms2 (p <0.05) ; LF  decreased 1.7 times  up to 254.1 ± 70.3 ms2 (p <0.05); VLF  increased 2.8 times up to 402.3 ± 101.8 ms2 (p <0, 05); TP  increased 1.4 times up to 1145.9 ± 251.3 ms2; CV increased 1.3 times up to 6.5 ± 0.7% (p <0.05); SDNN increased 1.3 times up to - 58.7 ± 6.6 ms (p <0.05). HRV measured during an AOT  showed a paradoxical  evaluation  in the parasympathetic impact on the heart rate (HF increased by 1.8 times and reached - 488.0 ± 104.7 ms2 (p <0.05); LF decreased by 1.1 times up to  408 , 4 ± 103.6 ms2; VLF increased 1.2 times  up to  166.4 ± 52.2 ms2; TP increased 1.3 times  up to 1062.8 ± 181.1 ms2 (p <0.05); CV increased 1.6 times  up to 8.0 ± 0.9% (p <0.05); SDNN increased 1.4 times  up to 62.6 ± 7.5 ms (p <0.05)). Conclusions During the index hospital inpatient stays the majority of patients with TTS have a vegetative imbalance due to increased parasympathetic influence on the heart rate, both at rest and  during a deep breathing test and an active orthostatic test. This fact is quite unexpected and requires further study.

Introduction and Aim:Obesity and metabolic syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).The acute myocardial infarction may be associated with autonomic dysfunction and it may have a bearing on the prognosis. The objective of the study wasto examine the effect of deep breathing test on heart rate variability in obese and non-obese patients with myocardial infarction (MI).   Materials and Methods:The patients with acute myocardial infarction were confirmed by universal definition and treatment was administered. At 12 weeks of follow up, the MI patients were screened and divided into two groups. 30 patients of MI with BMI 25 to 30 kg/m2 formed the obese group.30 patients of MI with BMI 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2 formed the non-obese group. The baseline ECG was taken for 5 minutes by using Niviqure B3 machine for HRV analysis. Then, deep breathing test (DBT) was performed in a standardized manner.   Results:The two groupswere well matched for the age (53.7±11.5 vs.55.2±9.2years).In the baseline there was a statistically significant decrease in the total power (TP) of the heart i.e., HF plus LF (2178±762ms2 vs2991±771ms2 with a ‘p’ value 0.001) in the obese group when compared to non-obese group. On DBT there was a significant decrease in heart rate (81bpm to 65bpm) in non-obese group. However, in obese group there was no significant decrease in heart rate (79bpm to 72bpm) on DBT.   Conclusion: Accordingly, we concludethat in obese patients with MI there is a reduction in respiratory vagal modulation of heart rate during DBT.

Abstract:Psychosocial risk factors significantly contribute to the morbidity and mortality of patients with cardiovascular disorders. The present study explored the anxiety and depression status of patients with coronary artery disease and evaluated the effect of deep breathing exercise on these psychosocial variables as well as physiological variables like heart rate variability and blood pressure. A randomized control design was adopted for the study. Out of 65 clients eligible for the study, 45 were selected based on inclusion criteria. Patient were trained in Deep breathing exercise (DBE)for 2-3 days, were instructed to practice the exercise twice a day for 10 min for a period of 2 weeks, further instructed to come for follow up to cardiac OPD after 2 weeks. The study findings revealed that majority of the cardiac patients were anxious 39 (86.66%), 23(57.5%) had mild depression and 3(7.5%) were with severe depression. Fischer's exact test revealed a significant association between depression and occupation (p=0.051), monthly income (p=0.031) and co morbid disease (p=0.006, p<0.05). Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient revealed significant positive correlation between anxiety and depression i.e. (r = 0.414, p <0.01). DBE was found to be effective in reducing anxiety and diastolic BP of clients with CAD. But there was no significant reduction in HR, SBP and depression after the intervention.
