Simultaneous Heart Rate Variability Monitoring Enhances the Predictive Value of Flow-Mediated Dilation in Ischemic Heart Disease

Differences in Body Temperature Variability Between Subjects With and Without Diabetes and Predictive Value for Cardiovascular Events

“…Autonomic nerve system activity was evaluated on heart rate variability monitoring as described previously. 19 Electro- …”

Peripheral endothelial function may predict the effectiveness of beta-blocker therapy in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

“…Recently, convincing evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction plays an essential role in the pathophysiology of β-adrenoreceptor activation [17][18][19], providing a link between endothelial dysfunction and β-adrenoreceptor responsiveness. Accordingly, we designed a study to evaluate whether FMD could be used as a sensitive marker to predict the IDC patient's response to β-blocker therapy and LV reverse remodeling.…”

“…In our results, there was an increased tendency for FMD values to increase after three months of β-blocker therapy but the differences failed to reach statistical significance. Recently, several studies have suggested that the endothelium is a key mediator in regulating the signaling imbalance in the SNS [17,18]. Marwah et al suggested that endothelial dysfunction results from neurogenic stress due to SNS dysregulation [38].…”

Nocturnal Difference in the Ultra Low Frequency Band of Heart Rate Variability in Patients Stratified by Kampo Medicine Prescription

“…1- 6 The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) can be used as a non-invasive tool for the assessment of the autonomic nervous function and cardiovascular risk. [7][8][9] In this pilot study, we, for the first time, utilized HRV to objectively investigate Kampo Classification Using HRV egorical variables and unpaired t-test, Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables (univariate analysis) and repeated-measures analysis of variance. Variables with a P<0.1 difference between Yo-sho and Yin-sho on univariate analysis were used in multivariate analysis to determine independent, significant predictors for the sho.…”
