Respiratory influence on heart rate in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: Summary and conclusionsTo find a simple and accurate test of autonomic nervous dysfunction in diabetes meilitus, 41 insulin-dependent diabetics and 25 controls were investigated. The diabetics, none of whom had symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, were testczl for retinopathy and sensory neuropathy. Each subject also performed maximal deep-breathing procedures while undergoing electrocardiographic recording: in normal subjects the intervals are shortened during inspiration and prolonged during expiration, and a … Show more

“…Autonomic nerve function was assessed from the heart rate reactions to deep breathing (expiration/inspiration ratio, a test of parasympathetic nerve function) [26] and to tilt (acceleration and brake indices, tests considering sympathetic nerve function as well) [27]. The blood pressure reaction to tilt was also assessed as a test of sympathetic nerve function.…”

“…(b) Respiratory influence on heart rate: The electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded continuously during maximal deep breathing procedures. Variation in heart rate between 'Accepted 9 December 1980 inspiration and expiration of less than 10% was considered abnormal (Sundkvist et al 1979). …”
