Decreased baroreflex sensitivity is an early sign of autonomic dysfunction in patients with type-1 diabetes mellitus. We evaluated the repeatability of a mild baroreflex sensitivity decrease in diabetics with respect to their heart rate. Finger blood pressure was continuously recorded in 14 young diabetics without clinical signs of autonomic dysfunction and in 14 age-matched controls for 42 min. The recordings were divided into 3-min segments, and the mean inter-beat interval (IBI), baroreflex sensitivity in ms/mm Hg (BRS) and mHz/mm Hg (BRSf) were determined in each segment. These values fluctuated in each subject within 42 min and therefore coefficients of repeatability were calculated for all subjects. Diabetics compared with controls had a decreased mean BRS (p=0.05), a tendency to a shortened IBI (p=0.08), and a decreased BRSf (p=0.17). IBI correlated with BRS in diabetics (p=0.03); this correlation was at p=0.12 in the controls. BRSf was IBI independent (controls: p=0.81, diabetics: p=0.29). We conclude that BRS is partially dependent on mean IBI. Thus, BRS reflects not only an impairment of the quick baroreflex responses of IBI to blood pressure changes, but also a change of the tonic sympathetic and parasympathetic heart rate control. This is of significance during mild changes of BRS. Therefore, an examination of the BRSf index is highly recommended, because this examination improves the diagnostic value of the measurement, particularly in cases of early signs of autonomic dysfunction.

То study a relationship between systemic hemodynamic parameters, albuminuria, and autonomic dysfunction in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM-1) without obvious nephropathy, the authors examined 55 patients in the inpatient setting. Twenty-nine patients had a normal urinary albumin excretion (CAE), 26 patients had microalbuminuria. 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (24-h BPM) was occillometrically made. The average daily, average diurnal and nocturnal values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) were significantly higher in DM-1 patients with microalbuniuria than in those with normal UAE. Routine autonomic cardiovascular tests showed that the incidence and severity of autonomic neuropathy were also higher in patients with microalbuminuria. Arterial hypertension (AH) diagnosed in compliance with the 24-h BPM criteria was detected. in 17.2%) of the DM-1 patients with normal UAE and in 42.3%) of the patients with microalbuminuria. According to the data of 24-h BPM, the incidence of arterial hypertension was 1.7 times as high as that evidenced by single BP measurements. The specific feature of circadian hemodynamic variations in patients with DM-1 was a low nocturnal BP decrease. 37.9%) of the patients with normoalbuminuria and 61.5%) of the patients with microalbuminuria had no normal (>10%)) nocturnal BP lowering. Stepwise regression analysis has ascertained that in patients with DM-1 without obvious nephropathy, systemic hemodynamic disorders are associated with albuminuria, autonomic dysfunction, and glycemic monitoring quality.
