Vagal tone is proposed as a novel index of stress vulnerability and reactivity with applications in all branches of medicine, and with particular value in pediatrics. The paper proposes a model emphasizing the role of the parasympathetic nervous system and particularly the vagus nerve in mediating homeostasis and defining stress. Measurement of cardiac vagal tone is proposed as a method to assess on an individual basis both the stress response and the vulnerability to stress. The method monitors the neural control of the heart via the vagus (ie, vagal tone) as an index of homeostasis. The method provides a standard instrument with statistical parameters that are comparable between patients and throughout the life span. This noninvasive method will allow the assessment of the stressful impact of various clinical treatments on the young infant and permit the identification of individuals with vulnerabilities to stress.

Abstract Study Objectives Binge alcohol consumption is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The effects of evening binge alcohol consumption (i.e., 4-5 beverages within two hours) on the vagal components of HRV and cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (cvBRS) during sleep remain largely equivocal. The present study examined the effects of evening binge alcohol consumption on nocturnal cardiac vagal tone and baroreflex sensitivity during stage N2, slow wave (SWS), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. We hypothesized that evening binge drinking would reduce HRV and cvBRS in each sleep stage. Methods Following a familiarization night within the laboratory, twenty-three participants were examined following a night of binge alcohol consumption and a fluid control (randomized, crossover design). A quality nocturnal beat-to-beat blood pressure signal was obtained in both conditions in 16 participants (7 men, 9 women; 25±1 years). Results Binge drinking reduced both the high frequency (HF) and time-domain components (i.e., pNN50 and RMSSD) of HRV in stage N2 sleep, SWS, and REM. In addition, cvBRS up-up (vagal activation) was reduced following binge alcohol consumption in stage N2 (21±3 vs. 15±3 ms/mmHg, P=0.035) and REM (15[11-28] vs. 11[9-18] ms/mmHg, P=0.009). Binge alcohol consumption reduced cvBRS down-down (vagal withdrawal) in stage N2 (23±2 vs. 14±2 ms/mmHg, P<0.001), SWS (20[14-30] vs. 14[9-17] ms/mmHg, P=0.022), and REM (14[11-24] vs. 10[7-15] ms/mmHg, P=0.006). Conclusions Evening binge alcohol consumption disrupts cardiac vagal tone and baroreflex function during nearly all sleep stages. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the potential role of binge drinking and alcohol abuse on cardiovascular risk.
