Abstract
Introduction
The interaction between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in healthy subjects is determined by the autonomic nervous system and reflected in respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Recently, another pattern of cardio-respiratory coupling (CRC) has been proposed linking synchronization of heart and respiratory system. However, CRC has not been studied precisely in heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF) (HFrEF) according to the myocardial recovery.
Methods
10-min resting electrocardiography measurements were performed in persistent HFrEF patients (n=40) who had a subsequent left ventricular EF (LVEF) of ≤ 40 %, HF with recovered EF patients (HFrecEF) (n=41) who had a subsequent LVEF of > 40 % and healthy controls (n=40). Respiratory frequency, respiratory rate, CRC index, time-domain, frequency-domain and nonlinear heart rate variability indices were obtained using standardized software-Kubios™. CRC index was defined as respiratory high-frequency peak minus heart rate variability high-frequency peak.
Results
Respiratory rate was positively correlated with high-frequency (HF) peak (Hz) in both persistent HFrEF group (p<0.001) and HFrecEF group (p<0.001), while respiratory rate was negatively correlated with HF power (ms2) in the healthy controls (p<0.05). CRC index was lowest in the persistent HFrEF group followed by HFrecEF and was high in healthy controls (0.008 vs 0.012 vs 0.056 Hz, p=0.03).
Conclusion
CRC index was lowest in patients with impaired myocardial recovery, which indicates that cardio-respiratory synchrony is stronger in persistent HFrEF. This may represent a higher HF peak (Hz)/lower HF power (ms2) and abnormal sympathovagal balance in persistent HFrEF group compared to healthy controls. Further work is underway to tests this hypothesis and determine the utility of CRC index in HF phenotypes and its utility as a potential biomarker of response with neuromodulation.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
