The analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV) consists of changes in the time intervals between consecutive R waves. It provides information on the autonomic nervous system regulation and it is a predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. Several studies analyzed this parameter in youth and adults with Intellectual Disability (ID). Nevertheless, there is a lack of information regarding the HRV before, during, and after exercise in older adults with ID. Therefore, we aimed to describe and compare the cardiac autonomic modulation before, during, and after the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in older adults with and without ID. Twenty-four volunteers with ID and 24 without ID (non-ID) participated in this study. HRV was assessed by R-R intervals at rest, during and after the 6MWT. At rest and recovery periods, the participants remained sited. The symbolic analysis was used to evaluate non-linear HRV components. The recovery HR kinetics was assessed by the mean response time, which is equivalent to time constant (τ)+time delay (TD). Between groups differences in HRV variables were not significant. During the recovery period, HR kinetics time variables showed significant better results in non-ID participants (TD: 6±5s vs. 15±11s; τ: 19±10s vs. 35±17s; and MRT: 25±9s vs. 50±11s, all p<0.050). In conclusion, our results suggest that the HRV in older adults with and without ID is similar during rest, exercise, and recovery. Recovery HR kinetics after the 6MWT was slower in older adults with ID. The reason for these results may be a reduced post-exercise vagal rebound in older adults with ID.

AbstractThis study aimed to assess whether obesity and/or maximal exercise can change 24 h cardiac autonomic modulation and blood pressure in young men. Thirty-nine men (n: 20; 21.9±1.8 kg·m−2, and n: 19; 32.9±2.4 kg·m−2) were randomly assigned to perform a control (non-exercise) and an experimental day exercise (after maximal incremental test). Cardiac autonomic modulation was evaluated through frequency domain heart rate variability (HRV). Obesity did not impair the ambulatory HRV (p>0.05), however higher diastolic blood pressure during asleep time (p=0.02; group main effect) was observed. The 24 h and awake heart rate was higher on the experimental day (p<0.05; day main effect), regardless of obesity. Hypotension on the experimental day, compared to control day, was observed (p<0.05). Obesity indicators were significantly correlated with heart rate during asleep time (Rho=0.34 to 0.36) and with ambulatory blood pressure(r/Rho=0.32 to 0.53). Furthermore, the HRV threshold workload was significantly correlated with ambulatory heart rate (r/Rho=− 0.38 to−0.52). Finally, ambulatory HRV in obese young men was preserved; however, diastolic blood pressure was increased during asleep time. Maximal exercise caused heart rate increase and 24h hypotension, with decreased cardiac autonomic modulation in the first hour, regardless of obesity.

AbstractBackgroundHypertension is the major health burden associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Positive family history and stress are the risk factors for hypertension. The present study aims to evaluate the effect of acute stress on the cardiac autonomic modulation in normotensive individuals with parental history of hypertension.MethodsSixty healthy male volunteers (30 with parental history of hypertension-NTPH+ group and 30 without parental history of hypertension-NTPH− group) in the age group of 18–24 years were included in the study. Short-term baseline heart rate variability (HRV) evaluation was done in frequency domain. Volunteers performed mental arithmetic stress task (MAST). HRV was measured before MAST, during MAST, and recovery period. HRV in both groups were compared.ResultsAnalysis showed a significant increase in heart rate (p-value = 0.038) and systolic blood pressure (p-value = 0.01) in NTPH+ group compared to the NTPH− during MAST. NTPH+ group showed significantly higher LFnu (p-value = 0.03) and LF/HF ratio (p-value = 0.02) during MAST. Reduction in HFnu (p-value = 0.027) was significantly higher in the study group. ANOVA analysis demonstrated significant increase in LFnu [F(2.602, 75.46) = 18.60; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.391] and LF/HF ratio [F(1.76, 51.043) = 29.952; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.508] during MAST and 10 min of recovery period from baseline value in NTPH+ group. HFnu has significantly reduced during MAST and 5 min recovery period from baseline value in NTPH+ group [F(2.78, 80.72) = 12.77; p = 0.033, ηp2 = 0.28].ConclusionsAcute mental stress leads to exaggerated sympathetic response and vagal suppression in healthy individuals with parental history of HTN. This study concludes that HRV, which reflects autonomic flexibility, is lower during acute mental stress and post-stress recovery period in normotensive males with parental history of HTN.

Introdução: Existem poucos estudos que evidenciam a manipulação vertebral relacionada à modulação autonômica cardíaca. Objetivo: Revisar a literatura sobre os efeitos da manipulação vertebral sobre a modulação autonômica cardíaca. Métodos: Foi realizada uma busca bibliográfica nas bases de dados da saúde Medline, Pubmed e Cinahl, no período correspondido entre setembro e novembro de 2014. Foram utilizados os descritores em inglês Spinal Manipulation, Cardiac Autonomic Modulation, Autonomic Nervous System, Heart Rate Variability, além de associações entre eles. Resultados: Foram encontrados 190 artigos, sendo excluídos 39 por serem repetidos, restando 151. Destes, 124 não se encaixaram nos critérios de inclusão e após leitura crítica e análise dos materiais foram selecionados 7 artigos. Grande parte dos estudos revelou que a manipulação da coluna, independente do segmento, demonstra alterações autonômicas, tanto em nível simpático quanto parassimpático. Conclusão: Existem diferentes metodologias para avaliação da modulação autonômica cardíaca, sendo a Variabilidade da Frequência cardíaca através do eletrocardiograma a mais utilizada. A manipulação vertebral exerceu influência, na maioria dos artigos, sobre a modulação autonômica cardíaca.Palavras-chave: manipulação da coluna, sistema nervoso autônomo, variabilidade da frequência cardíaca.
