Aim: to assess heart rate variability (HRV) measurements using pulse photoplethysmograph (PPG) in predicting major adverse cardiac event (MACE) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.

Methods: a prospective cohort study was conducted among hospitalized ACS patients. Heart rate variability as predictor was measured by PPG within 48 hours after admission and the incidence of MACE as outcome was identified during ICCU stay. The ability of HRV in predicting MACE during hospitalization was determined by area under ROC curve (AUC) of low frequency (LF), high fequency (HF), and LF/HF ratio parameters.

Results: among 75 subjects included in the study, 14 (18.7%) were experienced MACE during hospitalization. HRV parameters of LF and LF/HF ratio have AUC of 0.697 (95% CI, 0.543-0.850) and 0.851 (0.741-0.962), respectively. Using cut-off point of 89.673 ms2, LF had PPV and NPV of 13% and 71%, respectively; while LF/HF ratio of 1.718 had PPV and NPV of 6% and 50%, respectively.

Conclusion: the HRV parameters of LF and LF/HF ratio are moderate predictors for MACE and predict better ACS patients who will not develop MACE during hospitalization.

Impact of Acute Energy Drink Consumption on Heart Rate Variability in Children and Adolescents. A Randomized Trial.

Pediatr Cardiol

January 2025

Department of Pediatric Cardiology and Pediatric Intensive Care, University Hospital of Munich, Ludwig Maximilians University München, 81377, Munich, Germany.

The EDUCATE study investigated the acute impact of energy drink (ED) consumption on heart rate variability (HRV) in children and adolescents, with a focus on how these stimulant-rich beverages influence cardiac autonomic function. Given the popularity of EDs among young people, this study assessed the immediate cardiovascular response to ED intake. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial involved 26 healthy participants aged 10-18 years.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in children is associated with numerous adverse outcomes, including elevated blood pressure. While the associations between OSA, obesity, and autonomic dysfunction are recognised, the precise mechanisms linking these factors and their relationship with elevated blood pressure in children remain unclear.

Methods: This retrospective case series included 76 children with OSA.

Background: The prompt and accurate identification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial for preventing its progression into more severe neurodegenerative diseases. However, current diagnostic solutions, such as biomarkers and cognitive screening tests, prove costly, time-consuming, and invasive, hindering patient compliance and the accessibility of these tests. Therefore, exploring a more cost-effective, efficient, and noninvasive method to aid clinicians in detecting MCI is necessary.

JAMA Surg

January 2025

Center for Surgery and Public Health, Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.

Importance: Surgeon stress can influence technical and nontechnical skills, but the consequences for patient outcomes remain unknown.

Objective: To investigate whether surgeon physiological stress, as assessed by sympathovagal balance, is associated with postoperative complications.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This multicenter prospective cohort study included 14 surgical departments involving 7 specialties within 4 university hospitals in Lyon, France.

This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) according to the low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) ratio in the heart rate variability test and to evaluate the potential of the LF/HF ratio as an indicator for the diagnostic or predictive assessment of patients with BMS. A total of 469 patients with BMS who visited the Oral Diseases Clinic of Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022, were included in the study. The patients were asked to rate their tongue pain on a visual analog scale before and after treatment.
