Associations between Heart Rate Variability Parameters and Hemodynamic Profiles in Patients with Primary Arterial Hypertension, Including Antihypertensive Treatment Effects.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction is an important factor in the development and progression of arterial hypertension (AH) and may produce adverse hemodynamic sequelae. ANS function can be evaluated by analyzing heart rate variability (HRV). The purpose of this study was to assess the possible correlation between HRV and the hemodynamic profile of AH patients, including antihypertensive treatment effects after 12 months.

Methods

The study was conducted on 144 patients with uncomplicated AH. The hemodynamic profile was assessed via echocardiography and impedance cardiography (ICG). The analyzed HRV parameters included SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50, low frequency (LF, 0.05-0.15 Hz), high frequency (HF, 0.15-0.4 Hz), total power (TP, the variance of all NN intervals), a
