Abstract

A clinical study was conducted to examine the effects of depression on cardiac autonomic control. Cardiac autonomic control was measured in 26 nonmedicated patients (19 females) suffering from Major Depression, melancholic type, and in 26 age- and sex-matched normal controls. We measured heart rate and high frequency heart rate variability (respiratory sinus arrhythmia), pulsewave velocity and blood pressure, during 10 min of supine rest under controlled conditions. Using a log transformed time domain measure of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (logRSA), we found an inverse linear dependence between cardiac vagal tone and age in the healthy subjects as well as the depressed patients. logRSA was 0.22+/-0.25 in the patients and 0.25+/-0.16 in the control group. While this difference was not significant (P > 0.1), the deviations from the regression line were significantly (P < 0.0005) greater in the patients (0.21+/-0.12) than in the control group (0.09+/-0.07), indicating a more heterogeneous vagal tone in the depressed patients. Heart rate was also significantly (P < 0.03) greater in the depressed patients (76.6+/-12.4) than in the control group (69.5+/-6.9). No between-group differences were found in pulsewave velocity or systolic ...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
