Association between Polypharmacy and Cardiovascular Autonomic Function among Elderly Patients in an Urban Municipality Area of Kolkata, India: A Record-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: We assessed the association between polypharmacy and cardiovascular autonomic function among community-dwelling elderly patients having chronic diseases. Three hundred and twenty-one patients from an urban municipality area of Kolkata, India were studied in August 2022. The anticholinergic burden and cardiac autonomic function (Valsalva ratio, orthostatic hypotension, change in diastolic blood pressure after an isometric exercise, and heart rate variability during expiration and inspiration) were evaluated.

“…In elderly population polypharmacy, anticholinergic burden and cardiac autonomic neuropathy are important areas, and we in our clinics paid special attention to these areas and achieved better patient outcomes. 4,5 We acknowledge that in reference to treatment success, patient-reported outcomes matter more than physicians' global judgment about treatment benefit. Evaluating a prescription beyond its snapshot image and looking forward to capture the bigger picture of prescribing continuum are crucial.…”
