Aim: to analyze the quality of sleep and cardiac autonomic modulation of elderly diabetic women in the post-covid-19 syndrome.
Methodology: 41 elderly women, aged 60-75 years, with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and who had covid-19 were included, divided into three groups: 14 in the Diabetes without covid-19 group (DG), 15 in the Diabetes with covid-19 group (CG), 12 in the Diabetes with covid-19 group who had Pulmonary Compromise (IG). Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh questionnaire, anamnesis, capillary blood glucose, blood pressure collection, anthropometry, resting electrocardiogram for 10 min for heart rate variability (HRV) analysis.
Article Synopsis
- Adolescents who are sedentary, especially with increased screen time during the pandemic, are at risk for cardiovascular diseases and obesity, and poor sleep can impact their health negatively.
- The study aimed to see if physically active adolescents can still maintain good heart health and sleep quality despite experiencing poor sleep.
- Results showed that active adolescents, even with poor sleep, had better heart rate variability and blood pressure than their sedentary peers with the same sleep issues.
Cardiac channelopathies are a heterogeneous group of inherited cardiac diseases that are associated with mutations in the genes that encode the expression of cardiac ion channels. In view of this, it can be mentioned that the main hereditary arrhythmias in children and adolescents, caused by dysfunction of the ion channels, are Brugada Syndrome (BrS) and Long QT Syndrome (LQTS). However, few studies address the physiological effects of these conditions on children and adolescents.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with adolescents aged 11 to 18, analyzing parameters such as BMI, sleep quality records, waist circumference, fat percentage, blood pressure and sexual maturation, in addition to autonomic cardiac function through the analysis of heart rate variability.
Results: The anthropometric parameters of waist circumference, percentage fat mass, were significantly higher in the group of obese adolescents.
