The autonomic balance of heart rhythm complexity after renal artery denervation: insight from entropy of entropy and average entropy analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The current method to evaluate the autonomic balance after renal denervation (RDN) relies on heart rate variability (HRV). However, parameters of HRV were not always predictive of response to RDN. Therefore, the complexity and disorder of heart rhythm, measured by entropy of entropy (EoE) and average entropy (AE), have been used to analyze autonomic dysfunction. This study evaluated the dynamic changes in autonomic status after RDN via EoE and AE analysis.

Methods

Five patients were prospectively enrolled in the Global SYMPLICITY Registry from 2020 to 2021. 24-h Holter and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed at baseline and 3 months after RDN procedures. The autonomic status was analyzed using the entropy-based AE and EoE analysis and the conventional HRV-based low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and LF/HF.

Results

After RDN, the ABPM of all patients showed a significant reduction in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate. Only AE and HF values of all patients had consistent changes after RDN (p < 0.05). The spearman rank-order correlation coefficient of AE vs. HF was 0.86, but AE had a lower coefficient of variation than HF.

Conclusions

Monitoring the AE and EoE analysis could be an alternative to interpreting autonomic status. In addition, a relative change of autonomic tone, especially an increasing parasympathetic activity, could restore autonomic balance after RDN.

Project description:Aim:Radiofrequency ablation of peri-arterial renal autonomic nerves has been studied as a potential therapeutic option for resistant hypertension. While recent clinical trials have reported its efficacy, there is paucity of data addressing the effects of the procedure on renal arteries, such as changes in vessel and lumen areas. Herein, the effect of atheroma burden on renal arteries after renal denervation was assessed using computed tomography (CT) imaging. Materials and methods:Serial renal artery CT imaging was conducted in 38 patients from the EnligHTN™ I study, a prospective, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy of the EnligHTN multi-electrode radiofrequency ablation catheter in resistant hypertensive subjects. Cross-sectional images of renal arteries at 1 mm intervals were acquired using commercially available software (3mensio Structural Heart version 5.1). Vessel and lumen areas were manually traced in each image. Vessel wall volume (VWV) and percent vessel wall volume (P-VWV) were calculated. The measurements within the ablation (first 30 mm segments) and the non-ablation (subsequent 30 mm segment after the first bifurcation of renal arteries) zones were compared. Results:On serial evaluation, greater increase in P-VWV and VWV was observed in the ablation zone (change in P-VWV, 6.7%±5.1% vs 3.6%±2.8%, P=0.001; change in VWV, 106.3±87.4 vs 23.0±18.2 mm3, P=0.001). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis demonstrated baseline P-VWV in the ablation zone >37.1% as an optimal cutoff value to predict its substantial progression after the procedure (area under the curve=0.88, sensitivity 89.8%, specificity 79.1%). Conclusion:Change in vessel wall was greater within the segments receiving renal artery denervation. Baseline VWV predicted its substantial increase after the procedure. These observations suggest that atheroma burden within the renal arteries is a potential contributing factor to vascular changes after renal sympathetic denervation.
