Spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity is attenuated in male UCD-type 2 diabetes mellitus rats: A link between metabolic and autonomic dysfunction. Auton Neurosci 2023; 249:103117. [PMID: 37657371 DOI: 10.1016/j.autneu.2023.103117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have impaired arterial baroreflex function, which may be linked to the co-existence of obesity. However, the role of obesity and its related metabolic impairments on baroreflex dysfunction in T2DM is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of visceral fat and adiponectin, the most abundant cytokine produced by adipocytes, on baroreflex dysfunction in T2DM rats. Experiments were performed in adult male UCD-T2DM rats assigned to the following experimental groups (n = 6 in each): prediabetic (Pre), diabetes-onset (T0), 4 weeks after onset (T4), and 12 weeks after onset (T12). Age-matched healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were used as controls. Rats were anesthetized and blood pressure was directly measured on a beat-to-beat basis to assess spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) using the sequence technique. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to assess body composition. Data are presented as mean ± SD. BRS was significantly lower in T2DM rats compared with controls at T0 (T2D: 3.7 ± 3.2 ms/mmHg vs Healthy: 16.1 ± 8.4 ms/mmHg; P = 0.01), but not at T12 (T2D: 13.4 ± 8.1 ms/mmHg vs Healthy: 9.2 ± 6.0 ms/mmHg; P = 0.16). T2DM rats had higher visceral fat mass, adiponectin, and insulin concentrations compared with control rats (all P < 0.01). Changes in adiponectin and insulin concentrations over the measured time-points mirrored one another and were opposite those of the BRS in T2DM rats. These findings demonstrate that obesity-related metabolic impairments may contribute to an attenuated spontaneous BRS in T2DM, suggesting a link between metabolic and autonomic dysfunction.

Cardiorespiratory coupling as an early marker of cardiac autonomic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2023; 311:104042. [PMID: 36858335 DOI: 10.1016/j.resp.2023.104042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess cardiorespiratory coupling (CRC) in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (T2DM) and apparently healthy individuals, in order to test the hypothesis that this method can provide additional knowledge to the information obtained through the heart rate variability (HRV). A cross-sectional study was conducted in T2DM patients(T2DMG=32) and health controls (CON=32). For CRC analysis, the electrocardiogram, arterial pressure, and thoracic respiratory movement were recorded at rest in supine position and during active standing. Beat-to-beat series of heart period and systolic arterial pressure were analyzed with the respiratory movement signal via a traditional non-causal approach, such as squared coherence function. In this sample of T2DM, no differences in HRV were observed when compared to the CON, but the T2DMG showed a reduction in resting CRC. We conclude that in CRC in T2DM, reflected by the squared coherence may already be compromised even before HRV changes.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the heart rate fragmentation (HRF) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and its relationship with heart rate variability (HRV) indices. METHODS One hundred sixty-four men, aged 47-57 years were retrospectively analyzed from a database. Participants were T2DM (n = 82) and apparently healthy (n = 82). R-R interval time series recorded by electrocardiogram were collected at the supine position for 10 to 15 min. From HRF, the percentage of inflection points (PIP), percentage of words with zero, one, two, or three inflections points (W0, W1, W2, W3), and percentage with only type hard, soft, or mixed inflections points type (WH, WS, WM) were quantified. RESULTS T2DM presented higher PIP, WS, WM and W3, while WH and W1 was lower compared with healthy (p < 0.05). Moreover, a positive moderate correlation was found between WH and root mean square of the successive R-R differences (RMSSD) and high frequency (HF) indices. In contrast, a negative moderate correlation was found between WS and WM with RMSSD and HF indices. CONCLUSIONS T2DM have increased fragmentation patterns, and words grouped by inflection type are more closely related to HRV. The HRF approach might be useful to assess heart rate dynamic abnormalities in males with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Introduction: Autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in the exchange of metabolic information between organs and regulation on peripheral metabolism with obvious circadian rhythm in a healthy state. Sleep, a vital brain phenomenon, significantly affects both ANS and metabolic function. Objectives: This study investigated the relationships among sleep, ANS and metabolic function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), to support the evaluation of ANS function through heart rate variability (HRV) metrics, and the determination of the correlated underlying autonomic pathways, and help optimize the early prevention, post-diagnosis and management of T2DM and its complications. Materials and methods: A total of 64 volunteered inpatients with T2DM took part in this study. 24-h electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical indicators of metabolic function, sleep quality and sleep staging results of T2DM patients were monitored. Results: The associations between sleep quality, 24-h/awake/sleep/sleep staging HRV and clinical indicators of metabolic function were analyzed. Significant correlations were found between sleep quality and metabolic function (|r| = 0.386 ± 0.062, p < 0.05); HRV derived ANS function showed strengthened correlations with metabolic function during sleep period (|r| = 0.474 ± 0.100, p < 0.05); HRV metrics during sleep stages coupled more tightly with clinical indicators of metabolic function [in unstable sleep: |r| = 0.453 ± 0.095, p < 0.05; in stable sleep: |r| = 0.463 ± 0.100, p < 0.05; in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep: |r| = 0.453 ± 0.082, p < 0.05], and showed significant associations with glycemic control in non-linear analysis [fasting blood glucose within 24 h of admission (admission FBG), |r| = 0.420 ± 0.064, p < 0.05; glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), |r| = 0.417 ± 0.016, p < 0.05]. Conclusions: HRV metrics during sleep period play more distinct role than during awake period in investigating ANS dysfunction and metabolism in T2DM patients, and sleep rhythm based HRV analysis should perform better in ANS and metabolic function assessment, especially for glycemic control in non-linear analysis among T2DM patients.

Abstract
The intracranial compliance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and the association with cardiovascular autonomic control have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to assess intracranial compliance using the noninvasive intracranial pressure (niICP) and the monitoring of waveform peaks (P1, P2, and P3) and the relationship with cardiovascular autonomic control in T2DM patients. Thirty-two men aged 40-60 years without cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) were studied: T2DMG (n=16) and control group CG (n=16). The niICP was evaluated by a noninvasive extracranial sensor placed on the scalp. Cardiovascular autonomic control was evaluated by indices of the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), from temporal series of R-R intervals of electrocardiogram and systolic arterial pressure, during supine and orthostatic positions. The participants remained in the supine position for 15 min and then 15 min more in orthostatism. T2DMG presented a decrease of the P2/P1 ratio during the orthostatic position (P<0.001). There was a negative moderate correlation between the P2 peak with cardiovascular coupling (K2HP-SAPLF) in supine (r=-0.612, P=0.011) and orthostatic (r=-0.568, P=0.020) positions in T2DMG. We concluded that T2DM patients without CAN and cardiovascular complications presented intracranial compliance similar to healthy subjects. Despite preserved intracranial adjustments, T2DM patients had a response of greater magnitude in orthostatism. In addition, the decoupling between the heart period and blood pressure signal oscillations in low frequency appeared to be related to the worsening of intracranial compliance due to the increased P2 peak.

Abstract
PURPOSE Resting heart rate variability (HRV) is an important biomarker linking mental health to cardiovascular outcomes. However, resting HRV is also impaired in autonomic neuropathy, a common and underdiagnosed complication of common medical conditions which is detected by testing autonomic reflexes. We sought to describe the relationship between autonomic reflex abnormalities and resting HRV, taking into consideration medical comorbidities and demographic variables. METHODS Participants (n = 209) underwent a standardized autonomic reflex screen which was summarized as the Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS) and included measures of reflexive HRV, e.g., heart rate with deep breathing (HRDB). Resting HRV measures were: pNN50 (percentage of NN intervals that differ by > 50 ms) and cvRMSSD (adjusted root mean square of successive differences). RESULTS In univariate analyses, lower resting HRV was associated with: older age, higher CASS, neuropathy on examination, hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, and psychiatric disease. Adaptive regression spline analysis revealed that HRDB explained 27% of the variability in resting HRV for participants with values of HRDB in the normal range. Outside this range, there was no linear relationship because: (1) when HRDB was low (indicating autonomic neuropathy), resting HRV was also low with low variance; and (2) when HRDB was high, the variance in resting HRV was high. In multivariate models, only HRDB was significantly independently associated with cvRMSSD and pNN50. CONCLUSION Subclinical autonomic neuropathy, as evidenced by low HRDB and other autonomic reflexes, should be considered as a potential confounder of resting HRV in research involving medically and demographically diverse populations.

Abstract
ObjectiveWithdrawal of cardiac vagal activity is associated with ventricular arrhythmia-related high mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our recent study found that reduced cell excitability of cardiac vagal postganglionic (CVP) neurons is involved in cardiac vagal dysfunction and further exacerbates myocardial infarction (MI)-evoked ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in T2DM. However, the mechanisms responsible for T2DM-impaired cell excitability of CVP neurons remain unclear. This study tested if and how elevation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) inactivates CVP neurons and contributes to cardiac vagal dysfunction and ventricular arrhythmogenesis in T2DM.Methods and ResultsRat T2DM was induced by a high-fat diet plus streptozotocin injection. Local in vivo transfection of adenoviral catalase gene (Ad.CAT) successfully induced overexpression of catalase and subsequently reduced cytosolic H2O2 levels in CVP neurons in T2DM rats. Ad.CAT restored protein expression and ion currents of N-type Ca2+ channels and increased cell excitability of CVP neurons in T2DM. Ad.CAT normalized T2DM-impaired cardiac vagal activation, vagal control of ventricular function, and heterogeneity of ventricular electrical activity. Additionally, Ad.CAT not only reduced the susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias, but also suppressed MI-evoked lethal ventricular arrhythmias such as VT/VF in T2DM.ConclusionsWe concluded that endogenous H2O2 elevation inhibited protein expression and activation of N-type Ca2+ channels and reduced cell excitability of CVP neurons, which further contributed to the withdrawal of cardiac vagal activity and ventricular arrhythmogenesis in T2DM. Our current study suggests that the H2O2-N-type Ca2+ channel signaling axis might be an effective therapeutic target to suppress ventricular arrhythmias in T2DM patients with MI.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that type 2 diabetes (T2D) may impair the ability to properly adjust the circulation during exercise with augmented blood pressure (BP) and an attenuated contracting skeletal muscle blood flow (BF) response being reported. This review provides a brief overview of the current understanding of these altered exercise responses in T2D and the potential underlying mechanisms, with an emphasis on the sympathetic nervous system and its regulation during exercise. The research presented support augmented sympathetic activation, heightened BP, reduced skeletal muscle BF, and impairment in the ability to attenuate sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction (i.e., functional sympatholysis) as potential drivers of neurovascular dysregulation during exercise in T2D. Furthermore, emerging evidence supporting a contribution of the exercise pressor reflex and central command is discussed along with proposed future directions for studies in this important area of research.

Abstract
Impaired baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) may indicate cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), which often remains undiagnosed during the initial course of diabetes mellitus. The baroreflex mechanism can be considered negative feedback because of baroreflex delay, the time delay between a change in blood pressure and the counteracting heart rate response. This work sought to analyze BRS considering lags from 1 to 10 RR intervals. We hypothesized that diabetic patients with subclinical CAN (SCAN) have a detectable delay in autonomic nervous system activity and that this would differ from patients without CAN (NCAN) and with established CAN (ECAN). In the first stage, 30 patients were included in an exploratory analysis using the Principal Component Analysis. Six indexes related to the BRS delay were proposed and considered significant for staging diabetic patients. Three indexes allowed for the differentiating of patients with and without CAN, and three indexes distinguished subjects with SCAN from subjects with NCAN or ECAN. Then, in the second stage, a random forest model was developed with 72 subjects, using the variables selected in the first stage. It was possible to detect SCAN, and to point out those subjects with the potential to change the CAN stage, allowing for the tracking of CAN progression. The model achieved a sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 100% to detect SCAN. Thus, the BRS analysis considering delayed reaction in the dynamics of heart rate variability may contribute to an accurate screening tool to staging CAN, in addition to indicating patients with most insidious disease progress.

Abstract
The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF) is well established. Early in the course of the diabetic disease, some degree of impaired exercise capacity (a powerful marker of health status with prognostic value) can be frequently highlighted in otherwise asymptomatic T2DM subjects. However, the literature is quite heterogeneous, and the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms are far from clear. Imaging-cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a non-invasive, provocative test providing a multi-variable assessment of pulmonary, cardiovascular, muscular, and cellular oxidative systems during exercise, capable of offering unique integrated pathophysiological information. With this review we aimed at defying the cardiorespiratory alterations revealed through imaging-CPET that appear specific of T2DM subjects without overt cardiovascular or pulmonary disease. In synthesis, there is compelling evidence indicating a reduction of peak workload, peak oxygen assumption, oxygen pulse, as well as ventilatory efficiency. On the contrary, evidence remains inconclusive about reduced peripheral oxygen extraction, impaired heart rate adjustment, and lower anaerobic threshold, compared to non-diabetic subjects. Based on the multiparametric evaluation provided by imaging-CPET, a dissection and a hierarchy of the underlying mechanisms can be obtained. Here we propose four possible integrated pathophysiological mechanisms, namely myocardiogenic, myogenic, vasculogenic and neurogenic. While each hypothesis alone can potentially explain the majority of the CPET alterations observed, seemingly different combinations exist in any given subject. Finally, a discussion on the effects -and on the physiological mechanisms-of physical activity and exercise training on oxygen uptake in T2DM subjects is also offered. The understanding of the early alterations in the cardiopulmonary response that are specific of T2DM would allow the early identification of those at a higher risk of developing HF and possibly help to understand the pathophysiological link between T2DM and HF.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) leads to exaggerated cardiovascular responses to exercise, in part due to an exaggerated exercise pressor reflex. Accumulating data suggest excessive oxidative stress contributes to an exaggerated exercise pressor reflex in cardiovascular-related diseases. Excessive oxidative stress is also a primary underlying mechanism for the development and progression of T2DM. However, whether oxidative stress plays a role in mediating the exaggerated exercise pressor reflex in T2DM is not known. Therefore, this review explores the potential role of oxidative stress leading to increased activation of the afferent arm of the exercise pressor reflex. Several lines of evidence support direct and indirect effects of oxidative stress on the exercise pressor reflex. For example, intramuscular ROS may directly and indirectly (by attenuating contracting muscle blood flow) increase group III and IV afferent activity. Oxidative stress is a primary underlying mechanism for the development of neuropathic pain, which in turn is associated with increased group III and IV afferent activity. These are the same type of afferents that evoke muscle pain and the exercise pressor reflex. Furthermore, oxidative stress-induced release of inflammatory mediators may modulate afferent activity. Collectively, these alterations may result in a positive feedback loop that further amplifies the exercise pressor reflex. An exaggerated reflex increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Thus, identifying the contribution of oxidative stress could provide a potential therapeutic target to reduce this risk in T2DM.

Abstract
Patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have exaggerated sympathetic activity and blood pressure responses to exercise. However, the underlying mechanisms for these responses, as well as how these responses change throughout disease progression, are not completely understood. For this study, we examined the effect of the progression of T2DM on the exercise pressor reflex, a critical neurocardiovascular mechanism that functions to increase sympathetic activity and blood pressure during exercise. We also aimed to examine the effect of T2DM on reflexive cardiovascular responses to static contraction, as well as those responses to tendon stretch when an exaggerated exercise pressor reflex was present. We evoked the exercise pressor reflex and mechanoreflex by statically contracting the hindlimb muscles and stretching the Achilles tendon, respectively, for 30 s. We then compared pressor and cardioaccelerator responses in unanesthetized, decerebrated University of California Davis (UCD)-T2DM rats at 21 and 31 wk following the onset of T2DM to responses in healthy nondiabetic rats. We found that the pressor response to static contraction was greater in the 31-wk T2DM [change in mean arterial pressure (∆MAP) = 39 ± 5 mmHg] but not in the 21-wk T2DM (∆MAP = 24 ± 5 mmHg) rats compared with nondiabetic rats (∆MAP = 18 ± 2 mmHg; P < 0.05). Similarly, the pressor and the cardioaccelerator responses to tendon stretch were significantly greater in the 31-wk T2DM rats [∆MAP = 69 ± 6 mmHg; change in heart rate (∆HR) = 28 ± 4 beats/min] compared with nondiabetic rats (∆MAP = 14 ± 2 mmHg; ∆HR = 5 ± 3 beats/min; P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the exercise pressor reflex changes as T2DM progresses and that a sensitized mechanoreflex may play a role in exaggerating these cardiovascular responses.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study to provide evidence that as type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) progresses, the exercise pressor reflex becomes exaggerated, an effect that may be due to a sensitized mechanoreflex. Moreover, these findings provide compelling evidence suggesting that impairments in the reflexive control of circulation contribute to exaggerated blood pressure responses to exercise in T2DM.

Acute effect of photobiomodulation using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on baroreflex sensitivity during and after constant loading exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Lasers Med Sci 2019; 35:329-336.

Abstract
To evaluate the photobiomodulation (PBM) effect on the cardiovascular autonomic control, analyzed by baroreflex sensitivity (sequence method), during constant load exercise and recovery in diabetic men, we evaluated 11 men with type 2 diabetes (DM2) (40-64 years). The constant workload exercise protocol (TECC) was performed on two different days, 14 days apart from each other, to guarantee PBM washout period. After PBM by light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation (150 J or 300 J or placebo), 10 min of rest (REST) was performed. After this period, the volunteer was positioned on a cycloergometer to start the test (1-min rest, 3-min free-load heating, 6-min constant workload-EXERCISE, 6-min free-load cool-down, 1-min rest) followed by a sitting period of 10 min (RECOVERY). The constant workload corresponded to 80%VO2GET (gas exchange threshold) identified by a previous cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). PBM was applied in continuous mode, contact technique, bilaterally, on both femoral quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscle groups. The electrocardiogram R-R intervals (BioAmp FE132) and the peripheral pulse pressure signals (Finometer PRO) were collected continuously throughout the protocol. Stable sequences of 256 points were chosen at REST, EXERCISE, and RECOVERY. The baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) was computed in time domain according to the sequence method (αseq). The comparison between therapies (150 J/300 J/placebo) and condition (REST, EXERCISE, and RECOVERY) was performed using the ANOVA two-way repeated measures test. There was no interaction between therapy and conditions during the TECC. There was only the condition effect (p < 0.001), showing that the behavior of αseq was similar regardless of the therapy. Photobiomodulation with 150 J or 300 J applied previously to a moderate-intensity TECC in DM2 was not able to promote cardiovascular autonomic control changes leading to an improvement in BRS.

Abstract
Novel methods for assessing baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) using only pulse photoplethysmography (PPG) signals are presented. Proposed methods were evaluated with a data set containing electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure (BP), and PPG signals from 17 healthy subjects during a tilt table test. The methods are based on a surrogate of α index, which is defined as the power ratio of RR interval variability (RRV) and that of systolic arterial pressure series variability (SAPV). The proposed α index surrogates use pulse-to-pulse interval series variability (PPV) as a surrogate of RRV, and different morphological features of the PPG pulse which have been hypothesized to be related to BP, as series surrogates of SAPV. A time-frequency technique was used to assess BRS, taking into account the non-stationarity of the protocol. This technique identifies two time-varying frequency bands where RRV and SAPV (or their surrogates) are expected to be coupled: the low frequency (LF, inside 0.04-0.15 Hz range), and the high frequency (HF, inside 0.15-0.4 Hz range) bands. Furthermore, time-frequency coherence is used to identify the time intervals when the RRV and SAPV (or their surrogates) are coupled. Conventional α index based on RRV and SAPV was used as Gold Standard. Spearman correlation coefficients between conventional α index and its PPG-based surrogates were computed and the paired Wilcoxon statistical test was applied in order to assess whether the indices can find significant differences (p < 0.05) between different stages of the protocol. The highest correlations with the conventional α index were obtained by the α-index-surrogate based on PPV and pulse up-slope (PUS), with 0.74 for LF band, and 0.81 for HF band. Furthermore, this index found significant differences between rest stages and tilt stage in both LF and HF bands according to the paired Wilcoxon test, as the conventional α index also did. These results suggest that BRS changes induced by the tilt test can be assessed with high correlation by only a PPG signal using PPV as RRV surrogate, and PPG morphological features as SAPV surrogates, being PUS the most convenient SAPV surrogate among the studied ones.

Abstract
Both deterioration of the mechanical vascular properties of barosensitive vessels and autonomic derangement lead to modification of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in coronary artery disease (CAD) individuals. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) reduces BRS as well even in absence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy. The aim of the study is to clarify whether, assigned the degree of mechanical vascular impairment and without cardiac autonomic neuropathy, the additional autonomic dysfunction imposed in CAD patients by T2D (CAD-T2D) decreases BRS further. We considered CAD (n = 18) and CAD-T2D (n = 19) males featuring similar increases of average carotid intima media thickness (ACIMT) and we compared them to age- and gender-matched healthy (H, n = 19) subjects. BRS was computed from spontaneous beat-to-beat variability of heart period (HP) and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) at supine resting (REST) and during active standing (STAND). BRS was estimated via methods including time domain, spectral, cross-spectral, and model-based techniques. We found that (i) at REST BRS was lower in CAD and CAD-T2D groups than in H subjects but no difference was detected between CAD and CAD-T2D individuals; (ii) STAND induced an additional decrease of BRS visible in all the groups but again BRS estimates of CAD and CAD-T2D patients were alike; (iii) even though with different statistical power, BRS markers reached similar conclusions with the notable exception of the BRS computed via model-based approach that did not detect the BRS decrease during STAND. In presence of a mechanical vascular impairment, indexes estimating BRS from spontaneous HP and SAP fluctuations might be useless to detect the additional derangement of the autonomic control in CAD-T2D without cardiac autonomic neuropathy compared to CAD, thus limiting the applications of cardiovascular variability analysis to typify CAD-T2D individuals. Graphical abstract Graphical representation of the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) estimated from spontaneous fluctuations of heart period and systolic arterial pressure via transfer function (TF) in low frequency (LF) band (from 0.04 to 0.15 Hz). BRS was reported as a function of the group (i.e., healthy (H), coronary artery disease (CAD) and CAD with type 2 diabetes (CAD-T2D) groups) at REST (black bars) and during STAND (white bars). Values are shown as mean plus standard deviation. The symbol "*" indicates a significant difference between conditions within the same group (i.e., H, CAD, or CAD-T2D) and the symbol "§" indicates a significant difference between groups within the same experimental condition (i.e., REST or STAND). BRS cannot distinguish CAD and CAD-T2D groups both at REST and during STAND, while it is useful to distinguish experimental conditions and separate pathological groups from H subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart rate variability is used as an assessment method for cardiac autonomic modulation. Since the Task Force's publication on heart rate variability in 1996, the European Heart Rhythm Association Position Paper in 2015 and a recent publication in 2017, attention has been paid to recommendations on using heart rate variability analysis methods, as well as their applications in different physiological conditions and clinical studies. This analysis has proved to be useful as a complementary tool for clinical evaluation and to assess the effect of non-pharmacological therapeutic interventions, such as physical exercise programmes, on cardiac autonomic modulation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this article is to make recommendations and to develop a checklist of normalisation procedures regarding the use of heart rate variability data collection and analysis methodology, focusing on the cardiology area and cardiac rehabilitation. METHODS Based on previous heart rate variability publications, this paper provides a description of the most common shortcomings of using the analysis methods and considers recommendations and suggestions on how to minimise these occurrences by using a specific checklist. CONCLUSIONS This article includes recommendations and a checklist regarding the use of heart rate variability collection and analysis methods. This work could help improve reporting on clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention results and consequently, disseminate heart rate variability knowledge.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the association between impaired heart rate variability (HRV) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS A total of 655 patients with T2DM who underwent cardiovascular autonomic function testing were consecutively recruited and followed up prospectively. Time- and frequency-domain HRV were assessed for 5 min by beat-to-beat heart rate recording. We estimated the development of CVD events during a follow-up period. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 7.8 years, 9.6% (n = 49) of patients developed CVD (10.6 per 1000 patient-years). The mean age and diabetes duration were 54.9 ± 8.6 years and 9.4 ± 7.3 years, respectively. Patients who had cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) had decreased HRV compared with those with normal autonomic function. Multivariable cox hazard regression analysis revealed the lowest 10th percentile of the SD of the normal-to-normal interval (HR 2.62; 95% CI 1.30-5.31), total power (HR 2.81; 95% CI 1.37-5.79), low-frequency power (HR 2.68; 95% CI 1.28-5.59), and high-frequency power (HR 2.24; 95% CI 1.09-4.59) were significant predictors for developing CVD in patients with T2DM. CONCLUSIONS Time- and frequency-domain measures of HRV independently predicted cardiovascular outcome in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Clinical trials and animal experimental studies have demonstrated an association of arterial baroreflex impairment with the prognosis and mortality of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. As a primary part of the arterial baroreflex arc, the pressure sensitivity of arterial baroreceptors is blunted and involved in arterial baroreflex dysfunction in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Changes in the arterial vascular walls, mechanosensitive ion channels, and voltage-gated ion channels contribute to the attenuation of arterial baroreceptor sensitivity. Some endogenous substances (such as angiotensin II and superoxide anion) can modulate these morphological and functional alterations through intracellular signaling pathways in impaired arterial baroreceptors. Arterial baroreceptors can be considered as a potential therapeutic target to improve the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

Abstract
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is an early cardiovascular complication of diabetes occurring before metabolic derangement is evident. The cause of CAN remains elusive and cannot be directly linked to hyperglycemia. Recent clinical data report cardioprotective effects of some antidiabetic drugs independent of their hypoglycemic action. Here, we used a rat model receiving limited daily increase in calories from fat (HC diet) to assess whether mild metabolic challenge led to CAN in absence of interfering effects of hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, or obesity. Rats receiving HC diet for 12 weeks showed reduction in baroreceptor sensitivity and heart rate variability despite lack of change in baseline hemodynamic and cardiovascular structural parameters. Impairment of cardiac autonomic control was accompanied with perivascular adipose inflammation observed as an increased inflammatory cytokine expression, together with increased cardiac oxidative stress, and signaling derangement characteristic of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Two-week treatment with metformin or pioglitazone rectified the autonomic derangement and corrected the molecular changes. Switching rats to normal chow but not to isocaloric amounts of HC for two weeks reversed CAN. As such, we conclude that adipose inflammation due to increased fat intake might underlie development of CAN and, hence, the beneficial effects of metformin and pioglitazone.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with multibacillary leprosy using dynamic linear and nonlinear analysis. Material and methods Twenty-one leprosy patients (mean age: 39.14 ±10.58 years) and 21 healthy subjects (mean age: 36.24 ± 12.64 years) completed the sample. Heart rate variability recording was performed by a Polar RS800 CX heart monitor during a period of 15 min in the supine position and 15 min in a sitting position. Analysis of HRV was performed by frequency domain from high frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF) spectral indexes in absolute and normalized units. The nonlinear analysis of HRV was calculated using symbolic analysis (0V%, 1V%, 2LV% and 2UV% indexes), Shannon entropy (SE) and normalized complexity index (NCI). Results Linear analysis: both groups showed higher HF values (p < 0.05) and smaller LF values (p < 0.05) in supine than in sitting position. The leprosy patients showed higher LF values (p < 0.05) and smaller HF values (p < 0.05) compared to the controls on supine position. Symbolic analysis: leprosy patients had higher 0V% values (p < 0.05), smaller 2LV% values (p < 0.05) and 2UV % values compared to healthy subjects on both positions. The 1V % had higher values (p < 0.05) for leprosy patients than for controls in the sitting position. The control subjects had smaller 0V % values (p < 0.05), and higher 2UV % values (p < 0.05) in the supine position compared to the sitting position. Leprosy patients had higher 2UV index values (p < 0.05) in the supine position compared to the sitting position. In the complexity analysis, leprosy patients had smaller SE and NCI values (p < 0.05) than the control in the supine position. There was no difference between the SE and NCI values of leprosy and the control subjects in the sitting position. The control subjects had higher SE and NCI values (p < 0.05) in the supine position than in the sitting position. Conclusion Leprosy patients had higher sympathetic modulation and smaller vagal modulation than controls, indicating less HRV and cardiac modulation with lower complexity. The control group displayed significant HRV differences in response to position changes while leprosy patients had fewer HRV differences after the same postural change. An analysis of HRV with linear and non-linear dynamics proved to be a reliable method and promising for the investigation of autonomic dysfunction in patients with multibacillary leprosy.

Heart rate variability during high heat stress: a comparison between young and older adults with and without Type 2 diabetes. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 2016; 311:R669-R675.

Abstract
We examined whether older individuals with and without Type 2 diabetes (T2D) experience differences in heart rate variability (HRV) during a 3-h exposure to high heat stress compared with young adults. Young (Young; n = 22; 23 ± 3 yr) and older individuals with (T2D; n = 11; 59 ± 9 yr) and without (Older; n = 25; 63 ± 5 yr) T2D were exposed to heat stress (44°C, 30% relative humidity) for 3 h. Fifty-five HRV measures were assessed for 15 min at baseline and at minutes 82.5-97.5 (Mid) and minutes 165-180 (End) during heat stress. When compared with Young, a similar number of HRV indices were significantly different (P < 0.05) in Older (Baseline: 35; Mid: 29; End: 32) and T2D (Baseline: 31; Mid: 30; End: 27). In contrast, the number of HRV indices significantly different (P < 0.05) between Older and T2D were far fewer (Baseline: 13, Mid: 1, End: 3). Within-group analyses demonstrated a greater change in the Young group's HRV during heat stress compared with Older and T2D; the number of significantly different (P < 0.05) HRV indices between baseline and End were 42, 29, and 20, for Young, Older, and T2D, respectively. Analysis of specific HRV domains suggest that the Young group experienced greater sympathetic activity during heat stress compared with Older and T2D. In conclusion, when compared with young, older individuals with and without T2D demonstrate low HRV at baseline and less change in HRV (including an attenuated sympathetic response) during 3 h high heat stress, potentially contributing to impaired thermoregulatory function.
