Heart rate recovery post 6-minute walking test in obstructive sleep apnea

Abstract: Autonomic nervous system dysfunction in OSA can be found even with submaximal exertion. Heart rate recovery post-6MWT, such as HRR post cycle ergometry, was significantly impaired in OSA patients in comparison to normals and was favorably influenced from CPAP treatment. Furthermore, it was found to be more sensitive compared with distance walked in 6MWT in discriminating severity of OSA. The HRR post-6MWT was found to be an easily measured and reliable marker of OSA severity both before and after CPAP treatmen… Show more

“…In this context, it is known that the severity of COPD, as well as the severity of OSAS, is closely associated with impairments in functional capacity. 21 In the present study, only SDNN and SD2 (both representative of total HRV) were sensitive to HRV reduction during exercise. As for the other indexes, we did not observe any differences during walking.…”

“…For instance, in a series of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, impaired HRR, defined as a <16 beatdecrease at 1 min following the 6MWT, was found to be prognostic of clinical worsening (hazard ratio, 5.2; 95% CI, 1.8 to 14.8) [34]. Impaired HRR has also been shown to be predictive of the severity of apnea in patients with obstructive sleep apnea [35,36] and functional capacity in long-term survivors of pulmonary embolism [37]. The ANS, therefore, plays an important role in both cardiovascular and respiratory disorders.…”

“…Such dynamics have been previously reported in regard to comparison of healthy vs clinical, and specifically in regard to people with OSA. [50][51][52][53][54][55] Sixteen weeks of exercise improved heart at rest and responses during exercise in the subjects with OSA. Such improvement to heart rate were previously noted in the literature.…”
