The Usefulness of Assessing Heart Rate Variability in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (HeaRt-V-AMI).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart rate variability (HRV) could have independent and critical prognostic values in patients admitted for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). There are limited data in the literature regarding HRV assessment in STEMI setting. Thus, we aim to investigate the potential correlations between HRV and adverse outcomes in a contemporary cohort of patients presenting with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods

We will perform a prospective, observational cohort study in a single healthcare center. Adult patients aged ≥18 years presenting with STEMI in sinus rhythm will be enrolled for primary PCI within 12 h from symptoms onset. Time domain, frequency domain, and nonlinear HRV parameters will be measured using a medica
