The aim of our study was to employ novel nonlinear synchronization approaches as a tool to detect baroreflex impairment in young patients with subclinical autonomic dysfunction in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and compare them to standard linear baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) methods. We recorded beat-to-beat pulse interval (PI) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in 14 DM patients and 14 matched healthy controls. We computed the information domain synchronization index (IDSI), cross-multiscale entropy, joint symbolic dynamics, information-based similarity index (IBSI) in addition to time domain and spectral measures of BRS. This multi parametric analysis showed that baroreflex gain is well-preserved, but the time delay within the baroreflex loop is significantly increased in patients with DM. Further, the level of similarity between blood pressure and heart rate fluctuations was significantly reduced in DM. In conclusion, baroreflex function in young DM patients is changed. The quantification of nonlinear similarity and baroreflex delay in addition to baroreflex gain may provide an improved diagnostic tool for detection of subclinical autonomic dysfunction in DM.

Background: Hypertension is an important modifiable risk factor for dementia, but the role of blood pressure (BP) in the development of dementia is not fully understood. Emerging data links increased BP variability and abnormal BP dynamics to dementia risk, but the relationship between baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), a fundamental physiological mechanism for maintaining stable BP, and dementia risk is unknown.
Methods: We investigated the association of BRS with the risk of dementia in community‐based older adults from the Rotterdam Study in the Netherlands.

Background: Autonomic dysfunction and depression are among the most common causes of disability in high‐income countries and depression has been associated with deficits in various cognitive domains. The degree to which depression associates with autonomic function and modifies risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in older adults is unknown. We investigated the association between depression status and autonomic function measures in 398 participants enrolled in the U.

Background: Obesity is associated with adverse changes in the structure and function of both the brain and the vasculature and may modify risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the degree to which excess total and central adiposity contribute to overall disease burden in late‐life is unclear. We investigated baseline associations between obesity, AD‐related pathology, and neurovascular health in 255 participants enrolled in the U.

Background: Sleep disorders have been associated with cognitive impairment and dementia risk. Measures of autonomic function including baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate variability (HRV) have also been associated with sleep quality. The extent to which sleep disorders are linked to autonomic function and alter the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in older adults remains unclear.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts normal brain tissue and functions, leading to high mortality and disability. Severe TBI (sTBI) causes prolonged cognitive, functional, and multi-organ dysfunction. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) after sTBI can induce abnormalities in multiple organ systems, contributing to cardiovascular dysregulation and increased mortality.
