[Retracted] Changes of Short‐Term Heart Rate Variability and Vertebral Artery Magnetic Resonance Angiography in Patients with Cervical Vertigo

Abstract

Cervical vertigo refers to a clinical syndrome with sudden vertigo as the main symptom caused by the hemodynamic disturbance of the extracranial segment of the vertebral artery (VA) affected by cervical vertebral lesions. Small differences in pulse intervals in a patient’s continuous sinus rhythm are called heart rate variability (HRV). Heart rate variability refers to the small rise and fall of instantaneous heart rate between consecutive beats and is one of the most important physiological indicators of cardiac function. Small changes between successive beats reflect some information about the heart. So, it can be used to diagnose heart disease; its parameters can be used to identify emotions. Therefore, it is possible to use the characteristics of heart rate variability to find some patterns in the high-stress state and use the computer and ECG signals to describe the high-stress state. Since the ECG signal is a universal and objective model, it is practical and convenient to use it to describe stress states. Magnetic resonance angiography (MR angiography, MRA) is a noninvasive vascular imaging method that does not require intubation and contrast agents. At present, it has been widely used in clinical practice. In order to explore the changes of short-term heart rate variability and vertebral arterial magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in patients with cervical vertigo and their clinical significance, this paper introduces two basic analysis methods of heart rate variability and commonly used MRA techniques, TOF technology. In the analysis of heart rate variability in patients with cervical vertigo, the statistical values of time and spectrum domain parameters were found to be lower in the experimental group than in the control group1. MRA showed that the abnormal rate of VA in the PCI group and the cervical vertigo group was similar. In the RMSSD index, the male experimental group reached 29, and the control group 1 reached 22.
