We examined relationships between mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and circadian rhythm of autonomic activity using spectral analysis of heart rate variability and echocardiography in 31 normal women. The heart rate variability was calculated from 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram by Fourier transformation. The power spectra were quantified at 0.04-0.15 Hz (low frequency power (LF) 1n (ms2)) and 0.15-0.40 Hz (high frequency power (HF) 1n (ms2)). The HF component and the ratio of LF/HF were used as indices of parasympathetic and sympathetic activity, respectively. MVP was present in 22.6%. There were no significant differences in left ventricular dimension between subjects with MVP (group MVP (+)) and subjects without MVP (group MVP(-)). Number of ventricular premature contractions in group MVP(+) tend to be higher compared with that in group MVP(-). The level of high frequency power at 0-5 am in group MVP(+) was significantly higher than that in group MVP(-), which parasympathetic activity during sleep in MVP(+) group was higher compared with that in group MVP(-). The evaluation of autonomic activity using spectral analysis of heart rate variability for 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram might provide useful information about the pathology of MVP.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008945 Mitral Valve Prolapse Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of MITRAL VALVE into the LEFT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS; or CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA.

D010275 Parasympathetic Nervous System The craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system. The cell bodies of the parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are in brain stem nuclei and in the sacral spinal cord. They synapse in cranial autonomic ganglia or in terminal ganglia near target organs. The parasympathetic nervous system generally acts to conserve resources and restore homeostasis, often with effects reciprocal to the sympathetic nervous system.

D001341 Autonomic Nervous System The ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; and SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM taken together. Generally speaking, the autonomic nervous system regulates the internal environment during both peaceful activity and physical or emotional stress. Autonomic activity is controlled and integrated by the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, especially the HYPOTHALAMUS and the SOLITARY NUCLEUS, which receive information relayed from VISCERAL AFFERENTS.

D015716 Electrocardiography, Ambulatory Method in which prolonged electrocardiographic recordings are made on a portable tape recorder (Holter-type system) or solid-state device ("real-time" system), while the patient undergoes normal daily activities. It is useful in the diagnosis and management of intermittent cardiac arrhythmias and transient myocardial ischemia.
