JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROMOTION 2023; 12:400. [PMID: 38333143 PMCID: PMC10852173 DOI: 10.4103/jehp.jehp_449_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart rate variability (HRV) is the variation in the time intervals between continuous heartbeats also called interbeat intervals to give information related to the heart, blood pressure, gaseous exchange, and sympathetic and parasympathetic balance. Abnormalities in the conduction of the cardiac system alter the measurements of heart rate variability and lead to alteration in autonomic function with a higher risk of mortality. So, our objective includes the assessment of sympathovagal balance in AFLD and NAFLD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 78 alcoholic and 54 nonalcoholic fatty liver patients. A room temperature of 23°C with 25-35% humidity will be maintained in a recording room. Basal supine heart rate and BP will be recorded by the oscillometric method using an automated blood pressure monitor Omron MX3, India. Lead II ECG will be recorded for the next 5 minutes in total resting condition for short-term HRV analysis. Short-term HRV indices including time domain and frequency domain were recorded from each patient. Under time domain, SDNN, RMSSD, and average RR were noted. Under frequency domain, LF, HF, VLF, LF (nu), HF (nu), and LF/HF were calculated. The data were collected by using a 16-bit, power lab 8/30 data acquisition system (New South Wales, Australia) with acknowledge 3.8.2 software. Inferential analyses such as independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare NAFLD and AFLD patient groups. Carl Pearson correlation analysis was performed to obtain a relationship between variables. RESULTS SDNN in (ms) which represents the overall HRV found to be decreased in both alcoholic (32.84 ± 79.08) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (22.04 ± 13.85) compared to the normal range (50 ± 16)) from 27 studies. The value of RMSSD in (ms) was decreased in both alcoholic (17.00 ± 12.48) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients (14.00 ± 9.44) with the normal range of (42 ± 15) from 15 studies. Pearson correlation analysis showed the age of AFLD patients significantly and positively correlated with average RR. Pearson correlation analysis for the age of NAFLD patients was significantly and positively correlated with the average RR, HF, SDNN, RMSSD, and LF. CONCLUSION Altered autonomic activity was noted in both alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients. An early prognosis of fatty liver is very necessary to prevent the disease progress into later fatal life-threatening stages.

Abstract
Introduction This research is a pilot, single-blinded study investigating heart rate variability (HRV) during auricular acupressure at the left sympathetic point (AH7) in healthy volunteers. Methods There were 120 healthy volunteers with hemodynamic indexes (heart rate, blood pressure) within normal ranges, randomly divided into two groups AG and SG (in each group having a gender ratio 1:1, aged 20-29), to receive either auricular acupressure using ear seed (AG) or sham method using adhesive patches without seed (SG) at the left sympathetic point while lying in a supine position. Acupressure intervention lasted 25 min, and HRV was recorded by a photoplethysmography device-namely, Kyto HRM-2511B and Elite appliance. Results Auricular acupressure at the left Sympathetic point (AG) led to a significant reduction in heart rate (HR) (p < 0.05) and a considerable increase in HRV parameters demonstrated by HF (High-frequency power) (p < 0.05), compared to sham auricular acupressure (SG). However, no significant changes in LF (Low-frequency power) and RR (Respiratory rate) (p > 0.05) were observed in both groups during the process. Conclusion These findings suggest that auricular acupressure at the left sympathetic point may activate the parasympathetic nervous system while a healthy person is lying relaxed.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the topic of this review? Changes in heart rate variability in rats with sex differences and the use of different anaesthesia during light-dark cycles. What advances does it highlight? The review highlights and discusses synthesized current results in order to advance knowledge and understanding of sex differences with an emphasis on changes in the autonomic nervous system determined by heart rate variability. ABSTRACT Heart rate variability (HRV) is commonly used in experimental studies to assess sympathetic and parasympathetic activities. The belief that HRV in rodents reflects similar cardiovascular regulations in humans is supported by evidence, and HRV in rats appears to be at least analogous to that in humans, although the degree of influence of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) may be greater in rats than in humans. Experimental studies are based on control or baseline values, on the basis of which the change in ANS activity after a given experimental intervention is assessed, but it is known that the ANS in rats is very sensitive to various stress interventions, such as the manipulation itself, and ANS activity can also differ depending on sex, the time of measurement, and whether the animals are under general anaesthesia. Thus, for correct assessment, changes in ANS activity and their relationship to the observed parameter should be based on whether ANS activity does or does not change but also to what extent the activity is already changed at the start of the experiment. Since rats are considered to be the most suitable model animal for basic cardiovascular research, in this review we point out existing differences in individual HRV frequency parameters at the start of experiments (control, baseline values), taking into account sex in relation to time of measurement and anaesthesia.

[PMID: 36994117 PMCID: PMC10041648 DOI: 10.1177/20451253231158152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite its enduring relevance as the single most effective and important evidence-based treatment for schizophrenia, underutilization of clozapine remains considerable. To a substantial degree, this is attributable to a reluctance of psychiatrists to offer clozapine due to its relatively large side-effect burden and the complexity of its use. This underscores the necessity for continued education regarding both the vital nature and the intricacies of clozapine treatment. This narrative review summarizes all clinically relevant areas of evidence, which support clozapine's wide-ranging superior efficacy - for treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) and beyond - and make its safe use eminently feasible. Converging evidence indicates that TRS constitutes a distinct albeit heterogeneous subgroup of schizophrenias primarily responsive to clozapine. Most importantly, the predominantly early onset of treatment resistance and the considerable decline in response rates associated with its delayed initiation make clozapine an essential treatment option throughout the course of illness, beginning with the first psychotic episode. To maximize patients' benefits, systematic early recognition efforts based on stringent use of TRS criteria, a timely offer of clozapine, thorough side-effect screening and management as well as consistent use of therapeutic drug monitoring and established augmentation strategies for suboptimal responders are crucial. To minimize permanent all-cause discontinuation, re-challenges after neutropenia or myocarditis should be considered. Owing to clozapine's unique efficacy, comorbid conditions including substance use and most somatic disorders should not dissuade but rather encourage clinicians to consider clozapine. Moreover, treatment decisions need to be informed by the late onset of clozapine's full effects, which for reduced suicidality and mortality rates may not even be readily apparent. Overall, the singular extent of its efficacy combined with the high level of patient satisfaction continues to distinguish clozapine from all other available antipsychotics.

Abstract
In in vivo cardiovascular or toxicological studies involving rat models, changes in selected electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters are monitored after various interventions to assess the origin and development of heart rhythm disorders. Each ECG parameter has diagnostic significance; as such, commonly evaluated ECG parameters, including heart rate, PR interval, P wave duration, P wave amplitude, QRS complex, QT and QTc interval duration, R wave and T wave amplitude, of rats under various types of general anesthesia were the focus of this study. Studies that performed in vivo cardiovascular or toxicological experiments in rats were retrieved from a search of the Web of Science database for articles published mainly between 2000 and 2021. In total, the search retrieved 123 articles. ECG parameters that were reported as baseline or control values were summarized and averages with ranges were calculated. It is important to be cautious when interpreting results and, in discussions addressing the mechanisms underlying a given type of arrhythmia, acknowledge that initial ECG parameters may already be affected to some extent by the general anesthesia as well as by sex and the time of day the experiments were performed.

Abstract
Background: Accumulated studies have revealed that heart rates are associated with all-cause mortality in cardiac surgery patients, but the results remain controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the predictive value of increased perioperative heart rate for all-cause mortality after cardiac surgery. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases for studies from inception to October 11, 2021. Two researchers independently screened the studies. Titles, authors, publication years, and hazard ratios were extracted. We used a random-effects model to combine the HRs and 95% confidence intervals. Several subgroup analyses were conducted. Statistical significance was set at p < .05. Results: Eleven studies were included in the meta-analysis of 33,849 patients and 3166 (9.4%) deaths. The HR of higher perioperative heart rates was 2.09 (95% CI 1.53-2.86, p < .001, I2 = 81%). The HR with a 10-bpm increase in preoperative heart rate was 1.19 (95% CI 1.11-1.26, p < .001, I2 = 51%). Subgroup analysis showed patients with higher preoperative heart rates had an HR of 1.88 (95% CI 1.51-2.34, p < .001, I2 = 0%), and patients with a higher postoperative heart rate had an HR of 2.29 (95% CI 1.28- 4.09, p < .0001, I2 = 91%) compared to patients with lower postoperative heart rates. Conclusion: Increased perioperative heart rate is associated with all-cause mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Background The impact of elevated resting heart rate on early-stage renal dysfunction, manifesting as microalbuminuria, in hypertension is unclear. This study aimed to analyze the association between resting heart rate and microalbuminuria in patients with hypertension according to their blood pressure status. In addition, the effect of antihypertensive agents on this relationship was evaluated. Methods and Results We searched the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for eligible participants from 2009 to 2018. Data on key parameters such as age, sex, blood pressure, heart rate, albumin creatinine ratio, and medication were collected for analysis. Subsequently, participants were classified according to the heart rate quartile and blood pressure status for subgroups assessment. A total of 5,692 participants were enrolled in this study. After adjusting the confounding factors, there was a linear association between resting heart rate and microalbuminuria in patients with hypertension (OR 1.184 [per 1 SD]; 95% CI: 1.101, 1.274; P < 0.001). However, the association between elevated resting heart rate and microalbuminuria was not significant in patients with uncontrolled hypertension (OR 1.092 [per 1 SD]; 95% CI: 0.935, 1.275; P = 0.269). The OR of the indirect effect of β-blockers on the risk of microalbuminuria incidence through heart rate was 0.926 (95% CI: 0.895, 0.956), while the direct effect was 1.374 (95% CI: 1.138, 1.662, P = 0.010). Similarly, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers were associated with a higher prevalence of microalbuminuria (OR 1.300, 95% CI: 1.058, 1.597, P = 0.013), but the association between non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers and microalbuminuria was not significant (OR 1.207, 95% CI: 0.737, 1.978, P = 0.454). Conclusion Elevated resting heart rate is associated with a high risk of microalbuminuria in untreated patients and patients with controlled hypertension. Although there is a linear association between heart rate and microalbuminuria, the use of β-blockers exhibits a significantly increase in the prevalence of microalbuminuria in hypertension. Likewise, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers may increase the risk of microalbuminuria in hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the lack of research, this study aimed to assess the association between the specific range of heart rate and cardiovascular (CV) death in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. HYPOTHESIS Heart rate of 70-79 bpm may be associated with reduced risk of CV death in CHD patients. METHODS This retrospective cohort study collected the data of CHD patients from the eight cycles of the Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The included patients were divided into four groups: <60, 60-69, 70-79, and ≥80 bpm. The start of follow-up date was the mobile examination center date, the last follow-up date was December 31, 2015. The average follow-up time was 81.70 months, and the longest follow-up time was 200 months. Competing risk models were developed to evaluate the association between heart rate and CV death, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated. RESULTS A total of 1648 patients with CHD were included in this study. CHD patients at heart rate of <60 (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.34-1.36), 60-69 (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.04-1.06) or ≥80 (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.38-1.41) bpm had a higher risk of CV death than those at heart rate of 70-79 bpm. CONCLUSIONS Heart rate of <70 or ≥80 bpm was associated with an elevated risk of CV death among CHD patients. Continuous monitoring of heart rate may help to screen for health risks and offer early interventions to corresponding patients.

Abstract
Susceptibility of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction associated with exposure to metals in ambient fine particles (PM2.5, particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm) remains poorly evidenced. Based on the COPDB (COPD in Beijing) panel study, we aimed to compare the associations of heart rate (HR, an indicator of cardiovascular autonomic function) and exposure to metals in PM2.5 between 53 patients with COPD and 82 healthy controls by using linear mixed-effects models. In all participants, the HR levels were significantly associated with interquartile range increases in the average concentrations of Cr, Zn, and Pb, but the strength of the associations differed by exposure time (from 1.4% for an average 9 days (d) Cr exposure to 3.5% for an average 9 d Zn exposure). HR was positively associated with the average concentrations of PM2.5 and certain metals only in patients with COPD. Associations between HR and exposure to PM2.5, K, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, and Se in patients with COPD significantly differed from those in health controls. Furthermore, association between HR and Cr exposure was robust in COPD patients. In conclusion, our findings indicate that COPD could exacerbate difference in HR following exposure to metals in PM2.5.

Although it is known that caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and its derivatives could ameliorate acute myocardial injury, their effects on chronic myocardial ischemia (CMI) were not reported. This study aimed to investigate the potential effect of caffeic acid p-nitro phenethyl ester (CAPE-pNO2, a derivative of CAPE) on CMI and underlying mechanisms. SD rats were subjected to high-fat-cholesterol-diet (HFCD) and vitamin D3, and the H9c2 cells were treated with LPS to establish CMI model, followed by the respective treatment with saline, CAPE, or CAPE-pNO2. In vivo, CAPE-pNO2 could reduce serum lipid levels and improve impaired cardiac function and morphological changes. Data of related assays indicated that CAPE-pNO2 downregulated the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and galectin-3 (Gal-3). Besides, CAPE-pNO2 decreased collagen deposition, the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes, and some related downstream proteins of Gal-3 in the CMI rats. Interestingly, the effects of CAPE-pNO2 on TGF-β1, Gal-3, and other proteins expressed in the lung were consistent with that in the heart. In vitro, CAPE-pNO2 could attenuate the fibrosis, apoptosis, and inflammation by activating TGF-β1/Gal-3 pathway in LPS-induced H9c2 cell. However, CAPE-pNO2-mediated cardioprotection can be eliminated when treated with modified citrus pectin (MCP, an inhibitor of Gal-3). And in comparison, CAPE-pNO2 presented stronger effects than CAPE. This study indicates that CAPE-pNO2 may ameliorate CMI by suppressing fibrosis, inflammation, and apoptosis via the TGF-β1/Gal-3 pathway in vivo and in vitro.

Effect of combined aerobic and resistance exercise on blood pressure in postmenopausal women: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Exp Gerontol 2021; 155:111560. [PMID: 34560198 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2021.111560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of combined aerobic and resistance exercise on blood pressure (BP) in postmenopausal women. The results of this study will provide an effective means for postmenopausal women to control BP and reduce the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS Eligible studies were searched in five electronic databases until November 2020, and 11 randomized controlled trials that met the inclusion criteria were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The random-effects model was used to calculate overall effect sizes of weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). This study was registered in PROSPERO with the registration number: CRD42021225546. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the aerobic combined resistance exercise significantly decreased the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 0.81 mmHg (95% CI, -1.34 to -0.28) and 0.62 mmHg (95% CI, -1.11 to -0.14), respectively. The results of the meta-analysis also indicated that a significant reduction in brachial-to-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) of - 1.18 m/s (95% CI, -1.81 to -0.56) and heart rate (HR) of -0.22 beats/min (95% CI: -0.42 to -0.02) after combined aerobic and resistance exercise intervention. Subgroup analysis showed that postmenopausal women ≥60 years of age who were overweight or had a normal baseline BP were more sensitive to the combined aerobic and resistance exercise. When combined aerobic and resistance exercise frequency < 3 times/week, weekly exercise time ≥ 150 min, or the duration of exercise lasted for 12 weeks, the SBP and DBP of postmenopausal women could be reduced more effectively. CONCLUSIONS The present study indicates that combined aerobic and resistance exercise can significantly reduce BP in postmenopausal women. Accordingly, combined aerobic and resistance exercise may be an effective way to prevent and manage hypertension in postmenopausal women.

[PMID: 33827985 PMCID: PMC8172441 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-20-1731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2020] [Revised: 02/16/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased resting heart rate (RHR) is a predictor of mortality. RHR is influenced by cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Little is known about the combined associations of RHR and CRF on cancer mortality. METHODS 50,108 men and women (mean age 43.8 years) were examined between 1974 and 2002 at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, Texas. RHR was measured by electrocardiogram and categorized as <60, 60-69, 70-79, or ≥80 beats/minute. CRF was quantified by maximal treadmill test and dichotomized as unfit and fit corresponding to the lower 20% and the upper 80%, respectively, of the age- and sex-specific distribution of treadmill exercise duration. The National Death Index was used to ascertain vital status. Cox regression was used to compute HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for cancer mortality across RHR categories. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 15.0 ± 8.6 years, 1,090 cancer deaths occurred. Compared with RHR <60 beats/minute, individuals with RHR ≥80 beats/minute had a 35% increased risk of overall cancer mortality (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.06-1.71) after adjusting for confounders, including CRF. Compared with "fit and RHR <80 beats/minute", HRs (95% CI) for cancer mortality were 1.41 (1.20-1.66), 1.51 (1.11-2.04), and 1.78 (1.30-2.43) in "unfit and RHR <80," "fit and RHR ≥80," and "unfit and RHR ≥80 beats/minute," respectively. CONCLUSIONS RHR ≥80 beats/minute is associated with an increased risk of overall cancer mortality. High CRF may help lower the risk of cancer mortality among those with high RHR. IMPACT RHR along with CRF may provide informative data about an individual's cancer mortality risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart rate has been found associated with mortality in critically ill patients. However, whether the association differs between the elderly and non-elderly patients was unknown. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational study of adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the United States. Demographic, vital signs, laboratory tests, and interventions were extracted and compared between the elderly and non-elderly patients. The main exposure was heart rate, the proportion of time spent in heart rate (PTS-HR) was calculated. The primary outcome was hospital mortality. The multivariable logistic regression model was performed to assess the relationship between PTS-HR and hospital mortality, and interaction between PTS-HR and age categories was explored. RESULTS 104,276 patients were included, of which 52,378 (50.2%) were elderly patients and 51,898 (49.8%) were non-elderly patients. The median age was 66 (IQR 54-76) years. After adjusting for confounders, PTS-HR < 60 beats per minute (bpm) (OR 0.972, 95% CI [0.945, 0.998], p = 0.031, Pinteraction = 0.001) and 60-80 bpm (OR 0.925, 95% CI [0.912, 0.938], p < 0.001, Pinteraction = 0.553) were associated with decreased risk of mortality; PTS-HR 80-100 bpm was associated with decreased mortality in the non-elderly patients (OR 0.955, 95% CI [0.941,0.975], p < 0.001) but was associated with increased mortality in the very elderly patients (OR 1.018, 95% CI [1.003,1.029], p = 0.017, Pinteraction < 0.001). PTS-HR > 100 bpm (OR 1.093, 95% CI [1.081,1.105], p < 0.001, Pinteraction = 0.004) was associated with increased mortality. CONCLUSIONS The effect of heart rate on hospital mortality differs between the elderly and non-elderly critically ill patients.

Abstract
Objectives: Contrary to leisure-time physical activity, occupational physical activity (OPA) may have harmful health effects, called the physical activity paradox. A proposed mechanism is that OPA can elevate the heart rate (HR) for several hours per day. We aimed to investigate the association between the mean intensity of OPA and HR variability (HRV) indices the following night. Methods: Three cohorts (NOMAD, DPhacto, and Physical Workload and Fitness) involving blue-collar workers from different sectors were merged in this study. HR monitors (Actiheart) recorded 24-hour inter-beat intervals (IBI) for up to four consecutive days. The relative intensity of the mean HR during work was estimated by HR reserve (%HRR), and time-domain indices of HRV were analyzed during the following night. Data were analyzed using a multilevel growth model to test the association between mean %HRR during work and HRV indices at night in a day-by-day analysis adjusted for age, BMI, alcohol consumption, smoking, and occupation. Results: The dataset included a sample of 878 Danish blue-collar workers, with a mean %HRR during work of 31%, and 42% worked at an intensity ≥30%HRR. The multilevel model showed negative within- and between-subject associations between %HRR during work and HRV indices at night. Conclusions: Our results indicate a higher %HRR during work to associate with lower HRV indices the following night and a higher HR, reflecting an imbalanced autonomic cardiac modulation. This finding supports a high mean HR during work to be a potential underlying mechanism for the harmful health effect of OPA.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in societal-level changes to sleep and other behavioral patterns. Objective data would allow for a greater understanding of sleep-related changes at the population level. About 163,524 active Fitbit users from 6 major US cities contributed data, representing areas particularly hard-hit by the pandemic (Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Miami). Sleep variables extracted include nightly and weekly mean sleep duration and bedtime, and variability (standard deviation) of sleep duration and bedtime. Deviation from similar timeframes in 2018 and 2019 were examined, as were changes in these sleep metrics during the pandemic, relationships to changes in resting heart rate, and changes during re-opening in May and June. Overall, compared to 2019, mean sleep duration in 2020 was higher among nearly all groups, mean sleep phase shifted later for nearly all groups, and mean sleep duration and bedtime variability decreased for nearly all groups (owing to decreased weekday-weekend differences). Over the course of January to April 2020, mean sleep duration increased, mean bedtime shifted later, and mean sleep duration variability decreased. Changes in observed resting heart rate correlated positively with changes in sleep and negatively with activity levels. In later months (May and June), many of these changes started to drift back to historical norms.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular safety is an important consideration regarding the benefits versus risks of electronic cigarette use (EC) for public health. The single‐use cardiovascular effects of EC have been well studied but may not reflect effects of ad libitum use throughout the day. We aimed to compare the circadian hemodynamic effects as well as 24‐hour biomarkers of oxidative stress, and platelet aggregation and inflammation, with ad libitum cigarette smoking (CS) versus EC versus no tobacco product use. Methods and Results Thirty‐six healthy dual CS and EC users participated in a crossover study in a confined research setting. Circadian heart rate, blood pressure and plasma nicotine levels, 24‐hour urinary catecholamines, 8‐isoprostane and 11‐dehydro‐thromboxane B2, and plasma interleukin‐6 and interleukin‐8 were compared in CS, EC, and no nicotine conditions. Over 24 hours, and during daytime, heart rate and blood pressure were higher in CS and EC compared with no tobacco product conditions (P<0.01). Heart rate on average was higher with CS versus EC. Urinary catecholamines, 8‐isoprostane, and 11‐dehydro‐thromboxane B2 were not significantly different, but plasma IL‐6 and IL‐8 were higher with both CS and EC compared with no tobacco product (P<0.01). Conclusions CS and EC had similar 24‐hour patterns of hemodynamic effects compared with no tobacco product, with a higher average heart rate with CS versus EC, and similar effects on biomarkers of inflammation. EC may pose some cardiovascular risk, particularly to smokers with underlying cardiovascular disease, but may also provide a harm reduction opportunity for smokers willing to switch entirely to EC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart rate (HR) is a useful predictor of cardiovascular disease, especially in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, it is unclear whether there is an association between HR and clinical outcomes after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to ACS. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of HR on clinical outcome in individuals resuscitated from OHCA due to ACS.Methods and Results:Data from 3,687 OHCA patients between October 2002 and October 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. We divided 154 patients diagnosed with ACS into 2 groups: those with tachycardia (HR >100 beats/min, n=71) and those without tachycardia (HR ≤100 beats/min, n=83) after resuscitation. The primary endpoint was 1-year mortality and the secondary endpoint was neurological injury at discharge according to cerebral performance category score. Overall, mean HR was 95.6 beats/min. There were several significant differences in patient characteristics, indicating poor general condition of patients with tachycardia. Mortality at 1-year was 41.6%, and neurological injury at discharge was observed in 44.1% of individuals. In the multivariate analysis, tachycardia after resuscitation was an independent predictor of both 1-year mortality (hazard ratio, 2.66; 95% CI: 1.20-5.85; P=0.03) and neurological injury at discharge (odds ratio, 2.65; 95% CI: 1.27-5.55; P=0.04). CONCLUSIONS In patients who recovered from OHCA due to ACS, tachycardia after resuscitation predicted poor clinical outcome.

Abstract
This study determined the associations of resting heart rate (RHR) with cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVDRF) in 25-74-year-old black South Africans. This cross-sectional study determined CVDRF by administered questionnaires, clinical measurements and biochemical analyses, including oral glucose tolerance tests. Multivariable linear regression models determined the associations of rising RHR with CVDRF. The basic model comprised age, gender, urbanisation, problematic alcohol use, daily cigarette smoking, physical activity and waist circumference. Glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol variables were entered separately and individually in the above model. Among the 1054 participants (382 men and 672 women, mean age 42.8 years), mean RHR was 70.6 beats per minute (bpm) and significantly higher in women (73.6 bpm) compared with men (65.3 bpm). RHR peaked in 45-54-year-old men (69.3 bpm) and 25-34-year-old women (75.3 bpm). Prevalence of RHR < 60 bpm and ≥90 bpm was 24.3% and 6.2%. In the regression model, female gender, problematic alcohol use, decreasing physical activity and increasing waist circumference were significantly associated with rising RHR. All glycaemic variables (diabetes, fasting glucose and 2-hour glucose) and diastolic blood pressure were significantly associated with RHR. The use of RHR in daily primary healthcare settings to identify increased risk for CVDRF should perhaps be encouraged.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown that an elevated heart rate is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. This study aimed to prospectively examine the relationship between resting heart rate (RHR) and all-cause mortality in Chinese patients with hypertension. DESIGN An observational, prospective and population-based cohort study. SETTING The Kailuan cohort study was conducted in Tangshan City in northern China. PARTICIPANTS We enrolled 46 561 patients who did not receive beta-blocker treatment and were diagnosed with hypertension for the first time during an employee health examination in Kailuan Group in 2006 and 2008. OUTCOME The primary outcome of this study was all-cause mortality. METHODS The patients in this study were followed for 9.25±1.63 years. All patients were followed up face to face every 2 years. According to the distribution of RHR in the study population, RHR was categorised into five groups on the basis of quintiles: Q1: RHR ≤68 beats per minute (bpm); Q2: RHR >68 and ≤72 bpm; Q3: RHR >72 and ≤76 bpm; Q4: RHR >76 and ≤82 bpm; Q5: RHR >82 bpm. Cox proportional hazards model, which was adjusted for traditional risk factors, was used. RESULTS During follow-up, 4751 deaths occurred. After adjustment for potential confounders, restricted cubic spline regression showed that the risk of all-cause mortality increased with heart rate. In multivariate Cox regression analyses adjusted for age, sex and major covariates, the HR for all-cause mortality was 1.31 (95% CI 1.27 to 1.33) in the highest quintile group (Q5) compared with the lowest quintile group (Q1). CONCLUSION An increase in RHR is a long-term risk factor of all-cause mortality in Chinese patients with hypertension. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR-TNC-11001489.

Endocrinol Diabetes Metab 2020; 3:e00101. [PMID: 31922028 PMCID: PMC6947713 DOI: 10.1002/edm2.101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2019] [Revised: 09/09/2019] [Accepted: 10/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) overactivity is a risk factor for insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated the impact of bromocriptine-QR, a dopamine-agonist antidiabetes medication, on elevated resting heart rate (RHR) (a marker of SNS overactivity in metabolic syndrome), blood pressure (BP) and the relationship between bromocriptine-QR's effects on RHR and HbA1c in type 2 diabetes subjects. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS RHR and BP changes were evaluated in this post hoc analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial in 1014 type 2 diabetes subjects randomized to bromocriptine-QR vs placebo added to standard therapy (diet ± ≤2 oral antidiabetes medications) for 24 weeks without concomitant antihypertensive or antidiabetes medication changes, stratified by baseline RHR (bRHR). RESULTS In subjects with bRHR ≥70 beats/min, bromocriptine-QR vs placebo reduced RHR by -3.4 beats/min and reduced BP (baseline 130/79; systolic, diastolic, mean arterial BP reductions [mm Hg]: -3.6 [P = .02], -1.9 [P = .05], -2.5 [P = .02]). RHR reductions increased with higher baseline HbA1c (bHbA1c) (-2.7 [P = .03], -5 [P = .002], -6.1 [P = .002] with bHbA1c ≤7, >7, ≥7.5%, respectively] in the bRHR ≥70 group and more so with bRHR ≥80 (-4.5 [P = .07], -7.8 [P = .015], -9.9 [P = .005]). Subjects with bRHR <70 had no significant change in RHR or BP. With bHbA1c ≥7.5%, %HbA1c reductions with bromocriptine-QR vs placebo were -0.50 (P = .04), -0.73 (P = .005) and -1.22 (P = .008) with bRHR <70, ≥70 and ≥80, respectively. With bRHR ≥70, the magnitude of bromocriptine-QR-induced RHR reduction was an independent predictor of bromocriptine-QR's HbA1c lowering effect. CONCLUSION Bromocriptine-QR lowers elevated RHR with concurrent decrease in BP and hyperglycaemia. These findings suggest a potential sympatholytic mechanism contributing to bromocriptine-QR's antidiabetes effect and potentially its previously demonstrated effect to reduce CVD events.

Abstract
The fingertip-pulse waveform carries abundant information regarding human physiological condition that is fundamental for directly extracting physiological parameters. Making the surfaces of ordinary objects that are often in contact with fingertips, such as tables and computers, capable of perceiving dynamic epidermal pulse signals has great significance for accurately assessing health conditions without restrictions on time and place. Here, we demonstrate the materials and design of a nanohemispherical pressure sensor that can be attached to ubiquitous objects' surfaces to monitor fingertip pulse. The portable sensor achieved an ultrasensitivity of 49.8 mV/Pa, a prominent response time of less than 6 ms, and long-term durability of more than 4 months. As demonstrated, the sensor is utilized to measure subtle fingertip-pulse waves and extract characteristic points of the waveform on the surface of keyboards, mobile phones, and human skin. Given the superior performance of the sensor, a real-time, wireless arteriosclerosis monitoring system is developed. By analyzing the characteristic parameters of the pulse waveforms measured from 54 volunteer participants, the antidiastole of arteriosclerosis could be instructively diagnosed. The sensor proposed in this work is expected to be a competitive alternative to current complicated medical equipment and to be extensively applied in wireless cardiovascular monitoring systems.

Abstract
Cardiac activity has been widely used in marine molluscs as an indicator for their physiological status in response to environmental changes, which is, however, largely less studied in scallops. Here, we monitored cardiac performance of Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri using an infrared-based method, and evaluated the effects of several biotic (shell height, total weight, and age) and environmental factors (circadian rhythm and temperature) on scallop heart rate (HR), amplitude (HA), and rate-amplitude product (RAP). Results revealed that size has a significant effect on both HR (negative) and HA (positive), but RAP values are similar in different sized scallops. Age also affects scallop cardiac performance, significantly for HR, but not for HA or RAP. Circadian rhythm affects cardiac activity, with significant elevation of HR, HA and RAP during 1:00–8:00 and 17:00–19:00. With seawater temperature elevation, HR peaks at 30.03 ± 0.23°C, HA at 15.08 ± 0.02°C, and RAP at 15.10 ± 0.19 and 30.12 ± 0.28°C. This suggests HR is a good indicator for thermal limit, whereas HA may indicate optimal growth temperature, and RAP could be an index of myocardial oxygen consumption to indicate myocardium stress. Our study provides basic information on the factors that may affect scallop cardiac performance. It also elucidates the feasibility of HA and RAP as cardiac indices in marine molluscs.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2019; 29:236-243. [PMID: 30718140 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2018.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2018] [Revised: 11/13/2018] [Accepted: 12/07/2018] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Elevated resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the association of change in RHR (ΔRHR) and incident T2DM is not fully elucidated. We aimed to assess the dose-response association between 6-year ΔRHR and T2DM. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 12155 non-T2DM participants ≥18 years old were enrolled during 2007-2008 and followed up during 2013-2014. ΔRHR was calculated by subtracting the baseline RHR from the RHR value at 6-year follow-up. Age-, sex-, and RHR-specific relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the effect of ΔRHR on incident T2DM were calculated by using modified Poisson regression models. As compared with ΔRHR of 0 beats/min, the adjusted risk of T2DM was significantly increased with RHR increment and reduced with RHR reduction. ΔRHR was positively associated with future risk of T2DM [RR per unit increase: 1.03 (1.03-1.04)]. As compared with stable change in RHR group (-5<ΔRHR<5 beats/min), for ΔRHR ≤ -10 beats/min, -10<ΔRHR ≤ -5 beats/min, 5≤ΔRHR<10 beats/min, and ΔRHR ≥10 beats/min groups, the pooled adjusted RR (95% CI) of T2DM was 0.69 (0.55-0.86), 0.90 (0.73-1.11), 1.31 (1.07-1.61), and 1.90 (1.59-2.26), respectively. This significant association still existed on subgroup analyses based on age, sex, and baseline RHR and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic RHR change was significantly associated with incident T2DM. Our study suggests that RHR may be a non-invasive clinical indicator for interventions aiming to reduce incident T2DM in the general population.

The Influence of Continuous Exercising on Chronotropic Incompetence in Multi-Episode Schizophrenia. Front Psychiatry 2019; 10:90.

Abstract
People with schizophrenia die on average 15-20 years earlier than age and gender matched controls in the general population. An essential part of this excess mortality in people with schizophrenia is caused by physical illnesses. Among the physical illnesses, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been identified as the most common natural cause of death in up to 40-45% of the cases. Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is defined as the inability of the heart to increase its beating frequency in proportion to increased physical activity or higher metabolic demand. It is an established independent cardiovascular risk factor for major cardiac events and overall mortality and might explain adaptation intolerance of the cardiovascular system to even minor exercise courses. CI needs objective exercise testing for definitive diagnosis and therefore represents a biological marker indicating the integrity of the cardiovascular system. It was recently described in patients with schizophrenia and might help explain the reduced physical fitness in these patients and the inability of a subgroup of patients to benefit from exercise interventions. In this study, we tried to replicate the occurrence of CI in an independent sample of patients with schizophrenia and evaluated whether CI can be influenced by a continuous endurance training of 12 weeks. Therefore, we re-analyzed the fitness testing data of 43 patients with schizophrenia and 22 aged and gender matched healthy controls. Parameters of aerobic fitness and chronotropic response to exercise were calculated. Patients with schizophrenia were less physically fit than the healthy controls and displayed a significantly higher heart rate at rest. 10 of 43 patients with schizophrenia and no healthy control subject were classified as chronotropically incompetent. Chronotropic response to exercise did not change significantly after 12 weeks of continuous aerobic exercise training. No differences were observed for baseline heart rate and peak heart rate in both subgroups of schizophrenia patients. Aerobic fitness did not improve significantly in the patients with schizophrenia classified as chronotropically incompetent. Our results confirm the occurrence of CI in patients with multi-episode schizophrenia. This should be taken into account when planning an exercise or lifestyle intervention studies in this population. Schizophrenia patients with CI do not seem to benefit as well as schizophrenia patients without CI from aerobic exercise training interventions. Larger, prospective randomized controlled clinical trials with different training interventions are urgently needed to address the topic of schizophrenia patients not responding to exercise and the relationship to the illness itself.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular risk (CVR) biomarkers are of increasing interest because of their potential utility in management of cardiovascular diseases. The activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is known to be highly correlated with CVR and therefore, is a putative biomarker. Common ANS measurement tools have several technological limitations and high-variance signals. The pupillary responses (PR) is controlled by both components of the ANS, and recent advances in pupillometry are making this measurement, easy and reliable. Thus, PR assessment could become a useful clinical tool to measure the ANS modulation and its relation to CVR. Here, we aimed to evaluate differences in PR between low CVR and moderate/high CVR individuals. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study. We recruited voluntaries with low CVR (group 1, n = 12) and patients with moderate/high CVR (group 2, n = 7). An eye tracker was used to measure PR to different visual stimulus that included colors (white, black, gray) and images with known emotional valence (pleasant, unpleasant and neutrals), which were intercalated by pink "noise" images. Differences in PR between both CVR groups were assessed by Mann Whitney U test of different epochs of the PR. RESULTS PR was significantly different between both CVR groups (p-value < 0,05) when the observed images were unpleasant, neutral, and pink noise, for different epochs of the PR. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study that demonstrates that PR is different according to CVR. Thus, PR could be considered as a novel biomarker of CVR to be tested in prospective studies.

J Transl Med 2018; 16:240. [PMID: 30165858 PMCID: PMC6117915 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-018-1615-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2018] [Accepted: 08/22/2018] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with arterial hypertension often have an autonomic nervous system (ANS) imbalance with predominance of sympathetic ANS. This predominance can lead to injury of several organs affecting its functioning. There is evidence that performing high intensity resistance training (RT) with heavier loads and a lower number of repetitions results in lower cardiovascular stress when compared with lighter loads and a higher number of repetitions. However, the effects of different protocols of RT in autonomic modulation are not known. Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyze and compare the effects of different protocols of high intensity of effort RT on autonomic cardiac modulation of hypertensive women. METHODS A randomized crossover design clinical trial was conducted with 15 postmenopausal hypertensive women who underwent a control session and two high intensity RT protocols involving 6 and 15 repetition maximum (RM). Heart rate variability (HRV), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR) and double product (DP) were collected pre, immediately post, 1 h post, and 24 h post each protocol. Repeated-measures ANOVA were used. RESULTS SBP was higher for 6RM than control immediately after session (p < 0.05). There were no differences for DBP among protocols (p ≥ 0.05). HR was higher for 15RM than 6RM and control immediately after and 1 h after session (p ≤ 0.05). DP values for 15RM were significantly higher than 6RM and control immediately after the session and remained higher than control 1 h after session (p ≤ 0.05). The indices that compose HRV (rMSSD) were lower after 15RM than 6RM and control (p ≥ 0.05). The parameters of parasympathetic activity (HF) were decreased and sympathetic (LF) activity was increased for 15RM when compared to the 6RM and control session immediately after the exercise session (p ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSION Performing high intensity RT with lower loads and a higher number of repetitions seems to promote acute increases in sympathetic ANS activity, which may be related to cardiovascular stress. On the other hand, heavier load and lower repetition RT did not significantly impact upon autonomic modulation when compared to a control session.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction: The maximal heart rate (HRmax) is considered the highest value of HR achieved during a physical effort close to exhaustion. Objective: To evaluate the applicability of the predictive HRmax equations during exercise tests in child and adolescent athletes through a systematic review. Methods: It is a systematic review, through Scopus, Pubmed, Lilacs, Scielo and PEDro. The included studies compared the measured and estimated HRmax predictive equations during exercise tests in child and adolescent athletes. The following search strategy was used: “Exercise test OR Exercise testing OR Cardiopulmonary exercise test OR Cardiopulmonary exercise testing OR Peak oxygen uptake OR Maximal oxygen consumption OR Exercise capacity OR Heart rate OR Heart rate OR Pulse rate OR Pulse rates OR Heart rate control OR Cardiac chronotropic OR Predictive value test AND Predictive equations”. Results: From a total of 1,664 articles, only 4 were included. All compared the measured HRmax values with those estimated by the “220 - age” equation; 3 used the formula “208 - (0.7 x age)”, and only 1 used the “223 - (1.44 x age)” equation. Although all of them stated that the “220 - age” equation overestimates HRmax, the formula “208 - (0.7 x age”) underestimated (2 articles) and overestimated (1 study) the measured results, while the equation “213 - (1.44 x age) was also not adequate. Conclusion: The use of predictive HRmax equations for child and adolescent athletes does not seem to be recommended. The use of cohort points for these estimates is carefully recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the values of measured maximum heart rate (HRmax) and maximum heart rate estimated by different equations during the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in obese adolescents. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study. Adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years old, with obesity (BMI Z-score>2.0) were included. Demographic and anthropometric data were collected, followed by CPET, recording HRmax. The highest heart rate reached at peak exercise was considered as HRmax. The comparison between measured and estimated HRmax values was performed using four previous equations. Descriptive statistics and the ANOVA test (Bonferroni post-test) were used. RESULTS Fifty-nine obese adolescents were included, 44% of them male. The mean age was 16.8±1.2 years old and the BMI (Z-score) was 3.0±0.7. At peak exercise, the mean HRmax (bpm) was 190.0±9.2, the respiratory coefficient was 1.2±0.1, and the VO2max (mL/kg/min) was 26.9±4.5. When comparing the measured values of HRmax with those estimated by the different formulas, the equations "220-age", "208-0.7 x age" and "207-0.7 x age" were shown to overestimate (p<0.001) the measured HRmax results in obese adolescents. Only the "200-0.48 x age" equation presented similar results (p=0.103) with the values measured in the CPET. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study demonstrate that the equation "200-0.48 x age" seems to be more adequate to estimate HRmax in obese adolescents.

Abstract
Essential hypertension, fast heart rate, low heart rate variability, sympathetic nervous system dominance over parasympathetic, arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction and poor flow-mediated arterial dilatation are all associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. This review of randomised controlled trials and other studies demonstrates that caloric restriction (CR) is capable of significantly improving all these parameters, normalising blood pressure (BP) and allowing patients to discontinue antihypertensive medication, while never becoming hypotensive. CR appears to be effective regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, weight, body mass index (BMI) or a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes, but the greatest benefit is usually observed in the sickest subjects and BP may continue to improve during the refeeding period. Exercise enhances the effects of CR only in hypertensive subjects. There is as yet no consensus on the mechanism of effect of CR and it may be multifactorial. Several studies have suggested that improvement in BP is related to improvement in insulin sensitivity, as well as increased nitric oxide production through improved endothelial function. In addition, CR is known to induce SIRT1, a nutrient sensor, which is linked to a number of beneficial effects in the body.

Abstract
Resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with arterial stiffness, inflammation, and cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality in the general population and in patients at high CV risk. We assessed the association of RHR with arterial stiffness and low-grade inflammation (LGI) in a cross-sectional study that included 101 women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) without a history of CV disease or arrhythmia or who were under treatment that may cause bradycardia. Pulse wave velocity (PWV; a measure of arterial stiffness), RHR, and markers of LGI (ie, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, insulin, and homeostatic model assessment index) were measured. The patients with the highest RHR (quartile 4; mean RHR = 87.2 bpm) had a PWV 0.61 m/s (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.08-1.14; P = .024) greater than patients with the lowest RHR (quartile 1; RHR = 63.0 bpm), independent of age, systolic blood pressure, disease activity, smoking, and being physically inactive. Similarly, patients with the highest RHR (quartile 4) showed a significantly less favorable clustered LGI index than patients in quartile 1 ( b = .58; 95% CI: 0.212-0.948; P = .002). Higher RHR is associated with greater arterial stiffness and LGI in women with SLE. Further research to determine the prognostic value of RHR in this population is warranted.

Abstract
Myocarditis occurs in about 3% of those initiated on clozapine but monitoring reduces the risk of serious outcome. Cardiomyopathy may develop after myocarditis, or from prolonged tachycardia. Monitoring using echocardiography is not deemed cost effective. Tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension and reduced heart rate variability are a group of clozapine-related adverse effects associated with autonomic dysfunction and may have serious consequences in the long term. Elevated heart rate and poor heart rate variability can be treated with a β-blocker or a non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, while orthostatic hypotension can be alleviated by increased fluid intake and abdominal binding, but may require pharmacological intervention. Adequate correction for heart rate may show that clozapine does not prolong the QT interval. Other cardiovascular effects, pulmonary embolism, metabolic syndrome, sudden cardiac death and particularly the excessive mortality from cardiovascular disease events may be more strongly associated with the combination of mental illness, lifestyle factors and poor treatment of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors than with clozapine treatment. In view of the efficacy of clozapine and the evidence of reduced mortality relative to other antipsychotics, clozapine should be prescribed when indicated and recipients should be enrolled in lifestyle programmes to increase exercise and improve diet, and referred for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors.

Abstract
The abusive use of alcohol has shown to be associated to cerebral damage, impaired cognition, poor autonomic nervous control, impaired cardiovascular health, increased levels of stress and anxiety, depression symptoms and poor quality of life. Aerobic exercise has shown to be an efficient tool to reduce and overcome these issues. In this case report, a patient (forty-four years old, male) under treatment in public psychiatric hospital, classified as having a substance use disorder, underwent a three-month running program. The maximal oxygen consumption increased from 24.2 ml/kg/min to 30.1 ml/kg/min, running time increased from 6 min to 45 min (650%) and distance covered from 765 m to 8700 m (1037.2%). In prefrontal cortex oxygenation, oxyhemoglobin levels improved by 76.1%, deoxyhemoglobin decreased 96.9% and total hemoglobin increased 78.8% during exercise. Reaction time in the cognitive test during rest decreased 23%, and the number of correct answers increased by 266.6%. Parasympathetic cardiac parameters increased in several heart rate variability indices. Thus, we conclude that running exercise performed by an alcoholic patient hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital improves cerebral function, cognition and cardiovascular health. The subject improved the maximum consumption of oxygen. The subject increased the prefrontal cortex oxygenation, cognition and parasympathetic control. The subject decreased the need of intervention. First study to show long-term effects of exercise in the brain hemodynamics of an alcoholic

Abstract
Non-device-based telemedical management can be useful to prevent decompensation and death in patients suffering from easily disequilibrated conditions like diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure (HF). This article summarizes current knowledge on non-device-based telemedical care for patients with HF. Several parameters (heart rate, heart rate variability, systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, body weight, physical activity as derived from accelerometry, and occurrence of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias) have been identified as being associated with imminent clinical deterioration of HF patients. Structured telephone-based support and noninvasive telemonitoring with integrated electronic transfer of physiological data have been applied to care for HF patients and have been evaluated in multiple studies. The impact of telemedical care on clinical outcome appears to depend on the applied telemedical configuration and on the disease severity of targeted populations. The exclusive use of an automated telephone response system has not been successful. In patients with optimal medical therapy and relatively low decompensation risk noninvasive telemonitoring did not significantly reduce mortality. Nevertheless meta-analyses of structured telephone support and of noninvasive telemonitoring combining knowledge from available randomized trials suggest that both of these telemedical approaches may reduce the mortality risk of HF patients by 13-20%. The results of the Telemedical Interventional Management in Heart Failure II (TIM-HF II) trial on noninvasive telemonitoring versus usual care in 1500 high-risk HF patients are awaited in 2018 and will further clarify the usefulness of telemedical care in this field.

Abstract
The relationship between cumulative exposure to resting heart rate (cumRHR) and mortality remain unclear in the general population. In the Kailuan cohort study, resting heart rate (RHR) was repeatedly measured at baseline and at years 2 and 4 by electrocardiogram among 47,311 adults aged 48.70 ± 11.68. The cumRHR was defined as the summed average RHR between two consecutive examinations multiplied by the time interval between with two examinations [(beats/min) * year]. A higher RHR was defined as ≥80 beats/min, and the number of visits with a higher RHR was counted. During a median of 4.06 years of follow-up, a total of 1,025 participants died. After adjusting for major traditional cardiovascular risk factors and baseline RHR, the hazard ratio for the highest versus lowest quartile of cumRHR was 1.39 (95% CI: 1.07–1.81) for all-cause mortality. Each 1-SD increment in cumRHR was associated with a 37% (HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.23–1.52) increased risk of death and displayed a J-shaped relationship. Compared with no exposure, adults who had a higher RHR at all 3 study visits were associated with a 1.86-fold higher risk (95% CI: 1.33–2.61) of mortality. In summary, cumulative exposure to higher RHR is independently associated with an increased risk of mortality.

Abstract
In individuals with type 2 diabetes with abdominal obesity, hyperfiltration is a risk factor for accelerated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline and nephropathy. In this academic, single-center, parallel-group, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point trial, consenting patients with type 2 diabetes aged >18 years, with waist circumference >94 (males) or >80 (females) cm, serum creatinine <1.2 mg/dL, and normoalbuminuria were randomized (1:1) with permuted blocks to 6 months of a 25% calorie restricted (CR) or standard diet (SD). Primary outcome was measured GFR (iohexol plasma clearance). Analyses were by modified intention to treat. At 6 months, GFR significantly decreased in 34 patients on CR and did not change appreciably in 36 on SD. Changes were significantly different between the groups. GFR and body weight reduction were correlated. GFR reduction was larger in hyperfiltering (GFR >120 mL/min) than nonhyperfiltering patients and was associated with BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, heart rate, HbA1c, blood glucose, LDL-to-HDL cholesterol ratio, C-reactive protein, angiotensin II, and albuminuria reduction and with increased glucose disposal rate (measured by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps). Protein and sodium intake and concomitant treatments were similar between the groups. CR was tolerated well. In patients with type 2 diabetes with abdominal obesity, CR ameliorates glomerular hyperfiltration, insulin sensitivity, and other cardiovascular risk factors, effects that might translate into long-term nephro- and cardioprotection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is an independent risk factor in cardiovascular diseases. Changes in the cardiac autonomic functions and pro-inflammatory processes are potential biological factors. Endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of major depression on heart rate variability and endothelial dysfunction in patients with stable CAD. METHODS The study group included 65 CAD patients with a diagnosis of major depression and 54 CAD patients without major depression. All study population underwent transthoracic echocardiography, measurement of flow mediated dilatation (FMD) and 24-h holter recording for heart rate variability (HRV). Blood samples were drawn to determine the inflammatory parameters. Severity of depressive episode was assessed by Montgomery-Asberg Depression Scale (MADRS). RESULTS The distribution of age and sex was similar in the patient and control groups (P=0.715, 0.354, respectively). There was no significant difference in medications used between the groups. Echocardiographic parameters were similar between the groups. Inflammatory parameters were also similar between the groups. HRV parameters were significantly lower in the patient group than controls. The absolute FMD value and percentage FMD were significantly lower in the patient group than controls (P<0.001). The MADRS score correlated with pNN50 in both groups (P<0.05), and with FMD in the control group (P<0.001), even after adjusting for age and gender (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS MADRS score was an independent predictor of pNN50 level, percentage and absolute FMD values regardless of age and gender. Clinician should pay more attention for evaluation of depressive patients with CAD.

Abstract
Resting heart rate is a heritable trait correlated with life span. Little is known about the genetic contribution to resting heart rate and its relationship with mortality. We performed a genome-wide association discovery and replication analysis starting with 19.9 million genetic variants and studying up to 265,046 individuals to identify 64 loci associated with resting heart rate (P < 5 × 10-8); 46 of these were novel. We then used the genetic variants identified to study the association between resting heart rate and all-cause mortality. We observed that a genetically predicted resting heart rate increase of 5 beats per minute was associated with a 20% increase in mortality risk (hazard ratio 1.20, 95% confidence interval 1.11-1.28, P = 8.20 × 10-7) translating to a reduction in life expectancy of 2.9 years for males and 2.6 years for females. Our findings provide evidence for shared genetic predictors of resting heart rate and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
This open-label study investigated the long action of bisoprolol compared with metoprolol CR/ZOK for controlling the mean dynamic heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in patients with mild-to-moderate primary hypertension. Patients from seven centers in China were treated with either bisoprolol 5 mg or metoprolol CR/ZOK 47.5 mg once daily for 12 weeks. The primary end points were the mean dynamic HR reduction and the mean dynamic diastolic BP (DBP) control in the last 4 h of the treatment period. Secondary end points included ambulatory monitoring of the BP and HR, safety and compliance. A total of 186 patients, with 93 patients in each group, were enrolled and analyzed. In the last 4 h of the treatment period, patients receiving bisoprolol demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in the mean dynamic HR compared with patients receiving metoprolol CR/ZOK (least squares means (LSmeans) of difference: -3.79 b.p.m.; 97.5% confidence interval (CI): -7.45, -0.14; P=0.0202). Furthermore, in the last 4 h of the treatment period, bisoprolol demonstrated non-inferiority vs. metoprolol CR/ZOK in lowering the mean dynamic DBP (LSmeans of difference: -1.00; 97.5% CI: -4.79, 2.78; P=0.5495). Bisoprolol further significantly lowered the 24-h mean ambulatory, mean daytime and mean nighttime HR. The overall adverse event rate was similar between the two groups. Noncompliance was reported in 3 (3.53%) and 6 (7.32%) patients in the bisoprolol and metoprolol CR/ZOK groups, respectively. In conclusion, bisoprolol provided superior dynamic HR reduction and non-inferior dynamic BP reduction vs. metoprolol CR/ZOK in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension. No new safety concerns were found.

Abstract
Patients with cardiovascular disease show autonomic dysfunction, including sympathetic activation and vagal withdrawal, which leads to fatal events. This review aims to place sympathovagal balance as an essential element to be considered in management for cardiovascular disease patients who benefit from a cardiac rehabilitation program. Many studies showed that exercise training, as non-pharmacologic treatment, plays an important role in enhancing sympathovagal balance and could normalize levels of markers of sympathetic flow measured by microneurography, heart rate variability or plasma catecholamine levels. This alteration positively affects prognosis with cardiovascular disease. In general, cardiac rehabilitation programs include moderate-intensity and continuous aerobic exercise. Other forms of activities such as high-intensity interval training, breathing exercises, relaxation and transcutaneous electrical stimulation can improve sympathovagal balance and should be implemented in cardiac rehabilitation programs. Currently, the exercise training programs in cardiac rehabilitation are individualized to optimize health outcomes. The sports science concept of the heart rate variability (HRV)-vagal index used to manage exercise sessions (for a goal of performance) could be implemented in cardiac rehabilitation to improve cardiovascular fitness and autonomic nervous system function.

Abstract
Electronic waste (e-waste) is a growing occupational and environmental health issue around the globe. E-waste recycling is a green industry of emerging importance, especially in low-and middle-income countries where much of this recycling work is performed, and where many people's livelihoods depend on this work. The occupational health hazards of e-waste recycling have not been adequately explored. We performed a cross-sectional study of noise exposures, heart rate, and perceived stress among e-waste recycling workers at a large e-waste site in Accra, Ghana. We interviewed 57 workers and continuously monitored their individual noise exposures and heart rates for up to 24 h. More than 40% of workers had noise exposures that exceeded recommended occupational (85 dBA) and community (70 dBA) noise exposure limits, and self-reported hearing difficulties were common. Workers also had moderate to high levels of perceived stress as measured via Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale, and reported a variety of symptoms that could indicate cardiovascular disease. Noise exposures were moderately and significantly correlated with heart rate (Spearman's ρ 0.46, p < 0.001). A mixed effects linear regression model indicated that a 1 dB increase in noise exposure was associated with a 0.17 increase in heart rate (p-value = 0.01) even after controlling for work activities, age, smoking, perceived stress, and unfavorable physical working conditions. These findings suggest that occupational and non-occupational noise exposure is associated with elevations in average heart rate, which may in turn predict potential cardiovascular damage.
