Article Synopsis
- This systematic review aimed to evaluate the methods used to assess heart rate variability (HRV) in individuals recovering from COVID-19 after the acute phase.* -
- The review included studies from several databases and focused on those using linear and non-linear HRV assessment methods, excluding low-quality or irrelevant studies, and found that 24-hour Holter monitoring and 12-lead ECG were the primary tools used.* -
- Results indicated that about half of the studies showed autonomic dysfunction post-COVID-19, with a predominance of cardiac sympathetic modulation, and the overall methodological quality of the included studies was reasonable.*
Article Synopsis
- * The study involved 40 SAH participants, with G1 showing lower performance in a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), covering less distance compared to G2 (465 m vs. 522 m, p < 0.05).
- * Despite the decreased walking capability in those post-COVID-19, the analysis found no significant differences in cardiac autonomic function between G1 and G2, indicating that while FC
Article Synopsis
- Delays in mechanical ventilation weaning can lead to higher mortality rates, with the spontaneous breathing test being the current standard for assessing success, though it has an 85% accuracy rate.
- A study aimed to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV) as a potential predictor for the outcomes of mechanical ventilation weaning in ICU patients, categorizing them into success and failure groups while measuring HRV.
- Results showed a high rate of weaning success but also indicated that HRV metrics were notably lower than standard values, suggesting that HRV analysis could serve as an important tool for predicting weaning failure and improving patient care in ICU settings.
