AbstractHigh risk and geriatric patients are supposed to suffer higher risks of hypotension underwent painless endoscopic procedures. This study evaluated different biomarkers associated with hypotension in off-site patients and aimed to determine the most relevant risk factors in space and monitoring limited environment. The inclusions of this observational cohort study underwent complex endoscopic procedures were sedated with age-adjusted doses of target-controlled infusion of propofol. The following pre-sedative parameters were analysed: time domain, frequency domain, and Deceleration capacity (DC) of heart rate variability, estimated cardiac output data and the index of cardiac contractility from the cardiometer. Patients were divided into hypotension group (blood pressure < 90 mmHg or a > 35% decrease) and non-hypotension group according to peri-sedative blood pressure, regression analysis is used to examine the association between factors and hypotension. Total data from 178 patients (age range: 33–94 years) were analysed. Age was not significantly different between the hypotension and non-hypotension groups (p = 0.978). Among all the factors, DC was most associated with hypotension (p = 0.05), better than cardiometer, age, and ASA status. In conclusion, DC, which can be interpreted as the indicator of parasympathetic activity and was significantly and negatively correlated with sedation-related hypotension. Pre-sedative measuring DC from routine ECG monitoring is simple and cost-effective and should be added to haemodynamic monitoring in the endoscopic room.

The aim of this research was to study the peculiarities of heart rate variability (HRV) and microcirculation in students, depending on their sport specialization. Methods and Results: Our study included the results of a survey of 96 students from 18 to 21 years of age who were the members of the national teams of their universities in athletics (n=49) and floorball (n=47). For ECG registration and analysis of hemodynamic findings, including those characterizing the HRV, we used the “Medical Soft” sports testing system (“MS FIT Pro”). For monitoring, we used the standard hemodynamic patterns (blood pressure, HR, stroke volume, cardiac output, and others), statistical and spectral indicators of the HRV, as well as an integral criterion of the state of microcirculation. The studied HRV parameters in most students generally were within the age range. At the same time, track and field athletes have large adaptive resources and, consequently, a more optimal level of myocardial fitness, in comparison with floorball players. Conclusion: The orientation of sports training among students affects heart condition.

Aims: Warm foot bath is a simple, cost-effective, efficient treatment modality used in Naturopathy in the management of hypertension, a preventable and treatable global public health issue. This study was done to assess the effect of warm foot bath on heart rate variability and blood pressure and thereby to substantiate the clinical understanding of its effect in hypertensive individuals. Methodology: From the inpatient department of Shri Dharmasthala Yoga and Nature cure hospital Shantivana, hundred subjects diagnosed with hypertension belonging to the age group of 30 to 60 years were recruited for the study and warm foot bath was given to all the patients. Subjects were assessed for Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) before and after the intervention of 15 minutes. Results: The data analysis shows a significant reduction in SBP (p<0.001) and DBP (P<0.001). Result showed there is significant reduction seen in MEAN RR, RMSSD, NN50, PN50, VLF and significant increase in LF, HR, LF/HF ratio p value of (p<0.001). There is no significant change in MEAN HF (p>0.005). Conclusion: The result of the study shows that warm foot bath reduces the sympathetic tone and shifts the Sympatho-vagal balance in favour of parasympathetic dominance and hence, it can be concluded that warm foot bath can be effectively used in the management of hypertension. Trial Registration: Clinical Trial Registry - India (CTRI), CTRI Reg. No.- CTRI/2020/01/022640.

AbstractHeart rate variability (HRV) utilizes the electrocardiogram (ECG) and has been widely studied as a non-invasive indicator of cardiac autonomic activity. Pulse rate variability (PRV) utilizes photoplethysmography (PPG) and recently has been used as a surrogate for HRV. Several studies have found that PRV is not entirely valid as an estimation of HRV and that several physiological factors, including the pulse transit time (PTT) and blood pressure (BP) changes, may affect PRV differently than HRV. This study aimed to assess the relationship between PRV and HRV under different BP states: hypotension, normotension, and hypertension. Using the MIMIC III database, 5 min segments of PPG and ECG signals were used to extract PRV and HRV, respectively. Several time-domain, frequency-domain, and nonlinear indices were obtained from these signals. Bland–Altman analysis, correlation analysis, and Friedman rank sum tests were used to compare HRV and PRV in each state, and PRV and HRV indices were compared among BP states using Kruskal–Wallis tests. The findings indicated that there were differences between PRV and HRV, especially in short-term and nonlinear indices, and although PRV and HRV were altered in a similar manner when there was a change in BP, PRV seemed to be more sensitive to these changes.

AbstractIntroduction: There is an increase in level of stress in the general population because of the social, personal and professional demands. Currently, there are only simple tools that can safely measure this stress such as levels of cortisol and heart rate variability (HRV). Objective: To analyze the relationship between salivary cortisol and the cardiac autonomic modulation. Methods: A total of fifty-one male and female subjects between 18 and 40 years old were evaluated. Saliva collection was achieved for the salivary cortisol dosage. The collection was performed through the SalivetteR tube. After this collection, the median cortisol levels (0.24 ug/dl) were analyzed and the volunteers were divided into two groups: i) cortisol below the mediane ii) cortisol above the median. After this division, each group consisted of 25 volunteers and then was verified the following information: age, gender, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure. Shortly thereafter was assessment of cardiac autonomic modulation por meio da HRV. The Polar RS800cx heart rate receiver was placed on the chest of the volunteers, in the vicinity of the distal third of the sternum. The volunteers were instructed to remain in rest with spontaneous breathing in dorsal position for 20 minutes. HRV analysis included geometric, time and frequency domain indices. Results: There were no statistical differences for the two groups regarding systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, RR intervals or linear and frequency indices for the volunteers. In addition, also there was no correlation the cortisol with the analyzed variables (SAP, p=0.460; DAP, p = 0.270; HR, p = 0.360; RR, p = 0.380; SDNN, p = 0.510; rMSSD, p = 0.660; pNN50, p = 0.820; RRtri, p = 0.170; TINN, p = 0.470; SD1, p = 0.650; SD2, p = 0.500; LF [ms2], p = 0.880; LF [nu], p = 0.970; HF [ms2], p = 0.870; HF [nu], p = 0.960; LF/HF, p = 0.380 Conclusion: Heart rate variability autonomic control was unchanged in healthy subjects with physiological distribution of salivary cortisol levels. There was no association between normal salivary cortisol and resting autonomic regulation of heart rate.
