Autonomic Testing in Subclinical Carotid Atherosclerosis

NCT02726321 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 101

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: Atherosclerotic carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) may be associated with alterations in the sensitivity of carotid and subclavian baroreceptors.

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate if carotid IMT is associated with changes in the autonomic modulation of the heart rate variability (HRV).

Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study. The carotid IMT is determined by B-mode and duplex ultrasonography. The cardiovagal function was determined through linear and nonlinear measures of HRV. Linear regression models, adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, body mass index, waist-hip-ratio, and left ventricular ejection fraction will be used to evaluate the association between HRV parameters and carotid IMT.
