Heart-rate variability and cardiac autonomic function in diabetes. 1990

Cardiac autonomic function was measured in 25 subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and 11 control subjects. Autonomic integrity was assessed with standard tests of autonomic function and a new technique of measuring heart-rate variability (HRV) for 24 h. All of the diabetic subjects were selected on the basis of peripheral or autonomic neuropathy or long-term poorly controlled diabetes. They were divided into groups according to presence or absence of vagal neuropathy based on the results of standard tests of autonomic function. Thirteen diabetic subjects had normal autonomic function tests (group 1), and vagal neuropathy was detected in 12 diabetic subjects (group 2). All subjects were monitored by ambulatory electrocardiograph, and the recordings were played back through an analyzer that identified and timed successive pulse (R-R) intervals. HRV was measured from the standard deviation of the successive differences between R-R intervals. HRV was significantly reduced in group 1 (mean +/- SE 73 +/- 9 ms) and group 2 (65 +/- 12 ms) diabetic subjects compared with the control group (138 +/- 10 ms). The standard tests of autonomic function did not distinguish the vagal dysfunction noted with HRV monitoring in group 1 diabetic subjects compared with control subjects. Measurement of 24-h HRV can detect small changes in cardiac autonomic function compared with currently available tests.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D003929 Diabetic Neuropathies Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.
