Abstract Objective: Heart rate asymmetry (HRA) is an approach for quantitatively assessing the uneven distribution of heart rate accelerations and decelerations for sinus rhythm. We aimed to investigate whether automatic regulation led to HRA alternation during passive lower limb training. Methods: Thirty healthy participants were recruited in this study. The protocol included a baseline (Pre-E) and three passive lower limb training trials (E1, E2 and E3) with a randomized order. Several variance-based HRA variables were established. Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters, i.e., mean RR, SDNN, RMSSD, LF (n.u.), HF (n.u.) and VLF (ms2), and HRA variables, i.e., SD1a, SD1d, SD2a, SD2d, SDNNa and SDNNd, were calculated by using 5-min RR time series, as well as the normalized HRA variables, i.e., C1a, C1d, C2a, C2d, Ca and Cd. Results: Our results showed that the performance of HRA was distinguished. The normalized HRA was observed with significant changes in E1, E2 and E3 compared to Pre -E. Moreover, parts of non-normalized HRA variables correlated with HRV parameters, which indicated that HRA might benefit in assessing cardiovascular modulation in passive lower limb training. Conclusions: In summary, this study suggested that passive training led to significant HRA alternation and the application of HRA gave us the possibility for autonomic assessment.

Abstract Background: Heart rate asymmetry (HRA) is an approach for quantitatively assessing the uneven distribution points of RR intervals of sinus rhythm. We aimed to investigate whether the automatic regulation lead to HRA alternation during passive lower limb training. Methods : Several variance-based HRA variables derived from Poincaré plot were established. Thirty healthy participants were recruited in this study. The protocol included baseline (Pre-E) and three passive lower limb training trials (E1, E2 and E3) with a randomized order. Heart rate variability (HRV) frequency-domain parameters (LF (n.u.), HF (n.u.) and VLF (ms 2 )) and HRA variables (SD1a, SD1d, SD2a, SD2d, SDNNa and SDNNd) were calculated by using 5-min RR time series. Results : Our results showed that the performance of HRA distinguished. The HRA was observed with significant changes in E1, E2 and E3 compared to Pre -E. Moreover, HRA variables correlated with HRV parameters in all trials, which indicated that HRA might benefit in assessing autonomic alteration in passive lower limb trainings. Conclusions: In summary, this study suggested that passive training led to significant HRA alternation and the application of HRA gave us the possibility for autonomic assessment.

Paced breathing is a frequently performed technique for cardiovascular autonomic studies. The relative timing of inspiration and expiration during paced breathing, however, is not consistent. We, therefore, examined whether indexes of heart rate variability and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity would be affected by the respiratory time ratio that is set. We studied 14 healthy young adults who controlled their breathing rates to either 0.1 or 0.25 Hz in the supine and sitting positions. Four different inspiratory-to-expiratory time ratios (I/E) (uncontrolled, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3) were examined for each condition in a randomized order. The results showed spectral indexes of heart rate variability and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity were not influenced by the I/E that was set during paced breathing under supine and sitting positions. Porta's and Guzik's indexes of heart rate asymmetry were also not different at various I/E during 0.1-Hz breathing, but had larger values at 1:1 during 0.25-Hz breathing, although significant change was found in the sitting position only. At the same time, Porta's and Guzik's indexes obtained during 0.1-Hz breathing were greater than during 0.25-Hz breathing in both positions. The authors suggest that setting the I/E during paced breathing is not necessary when measuring spectral indexes of heart rate variability and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity under the conditions used in this study. The necessity of paced breathing for the measurement of heart rate asymmetry, however, requires further investigation.

Abstract Background : Heart rate variability (HRV) provides an opportunity to capture the tiny but early signs that may predict the future cardiovascular risk in healthy individuals and further, helps understand how well the cardiovascular autonomic system works. Aims of this study were to elucidate short-term recovery of HRV and its relationship with blood pressure recovery after different intensity treadmill exercise. Methods : Fifteen healthy participants performed four different conditions (REST; speed 6km/h; speed 8km/h; speed 10km/h), systolic and diastolic blood pressure per 30s (SBP, DBP) and 5-mins consecutive heart beats intervals were measured after each trial. Autonomic nervous regulation was evaluated using HRV time-frequency domain indices and heart rate asymmetry (HRA) indices. Each index was calculated using 5 mins electrocardiogram (ECG) series and consecutive 30-s windows in 5 mins. Results : the vagally related indices (RMSSD, pNN50 and HF) decreased and the indices representing overall variability (SDNN, LF) had different trends as intensity increasing. The sympathetic-vagal balance parameter LF/HF increased, too. HRV indices had strong correlations with DBP but weak with SBP. Meanwhile, heart rate asymmetry vanished after each trial. Conclusions : The findings suggested a vagal withdrawal as soon as the end of treadmill exercise. It could be concluded that sympathetic modulation was stronger as intensity increasing. During recovery period, DBP was mediated by vagal activation and sympathetic withdrawal. The diminished asymmetry in Poincaré plot was the result of sympathetic acceleration and vagal reduction.

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.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the basic fractal nature of the variability in resting heart rate (HRV), relative to that in breathing frequency (BFV) and tidal volume (TVV), and to test the hypothesis that fractal HRV is due to the fractal BFV and/or TVV in humans. In addition, the possible fractal nature of respiratory volume curves (RVC) and HRV was observed. In the first study, eight subjects were tested while they sat quietly in a comfortable chair for 60 min. Beat-to-beat R-R intervals, i.e., HRV, and breath-by-breath BFV and TVV were measured. In the second study, six subjects were tested while they were in the supine position for 20-30 min. The RVC was monitored continuously together with HRV. Coarse-graining spectral analysis (Yamamoto, Y., and R. L. Hughson, Physica D 68: 250-264, 1993) was applied to these signals to evaluate the percentage of random fractal components in the time series (%Fractal) and the spectral exponent (beta), which characterizes irregularity of the signals. The estimates of beta were determined for each variable only over the range normally used to evaluate HRV. Values for %Fractal and beta of both BFV and TVV were significantly (P < 0.05) greater than those for HRV. In addition, there was no significant (P > 0.05) correlation between the beta values of HRV relative to either BFV (r = 0.14) or TVV (r = 0.34). RVC showed a smooth oscillation as compared with HRV; %Fractal for RVC (42.3 +/- 21.7%, mean +/- SD) was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than that for HRV (78.5 +/- 4.2%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
