Abstract

Objectives: It has been reported that increased sempathic nerve system activity due to infalammatory stress and it cause disturbance of heart rate variability (HRV) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, it was assessed cardiac sempatovagal activity by noninvasive parameters such as HRV in patients with RA. Materials and methods: 49 patients with RA and age-matched 28 healthy subjects as control group were enrolled to this study. Clinical and laboratory parameters of all subjects were assessed and 24-hour electrocardiographic Holter monitoring were performed to all of them. Results: Minimum, maximum and mean heart rate were significantly higher while mean RR interval were significantly lower in patients with RA when compared with controls. In addition, among time domain HRV parameters, SDNN, SDANN ve triangular index were significantly lower in patients with RA (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.01, respectively). In correlation analysis, it was not found a significant association between HRV parameters and age, sex, duration and activity of disease, inflammatory markers, supraventricular or ventricular extrasystole (VES). There were only significant negative associations between VES and pNN50, SDANN and RMSDD. But, there was no independent correlation between these parameters. Conclusion: Non-invasive parameters such as HRV may have a modest role in assessment of cardiovascular risk and prediction of sudden cardiac death risk, in addition to the traditional risk factors, in patients with RA. However, to reach to the more accurate decision, there are need to carry out larger and long term studies which include different patients groups

Özet

Amaç: Romatoid artritte (RA) inflamatuar strese bağlı sempatik sinir sistemi aktivitesinde artış ve buna bağlı kalp hızı değişkenliğinde bozulma olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada RA’lı hastalarda kalp hızı değişkenliği (KHD) gibi noninvaziv elektrofizyolojik parametreler aracılığıyla kardiyak sempatovagal aktivite değerlendirildi. Gereç ve yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 49 RA’lı hasta ve benzer yaşta 28 sağlıklı birey kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Tüm bireylerin klinik ve laboratuar parametreleri değerlendirildi ve hepsine 24 saatlik Holter elektrokardiografik monitorizasyon yapıldı. Bulgular: Hasta grubunda minimal, maksimal ve ortalama kalp hızları kontrol grubuna kıyasla oldukça anlamlı düzeyde yüksek ve ortalama RR intervali de anlamlı düzeyde düşük bulundu. Ek olarak, zaman bağımlı KHD parametreleri arasında SDNN, SDANN ve triangular indeks anlamlı düzeyde düşük saptandı. (sırasıyla p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.01). Korelasyon analizinde herhangi bir KHD parametresi ile yaş, cinsiyet, hastalık süresi ve aktivitesi, inflamasyon belirteçleri, supraventriküler ya da ventriküler ekstrasistol sayısı (VES) arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı. Yalnızca pNN50, SDANN ve RMSDD ile VES arasında anlamlı ve negatif bir ilişki saptandı. Fakat multivaryans analizde bu parametreler arasında bağımsız bir ilişki gösterilemedi. Sonuç: RA’lı hastalarda KHD gibi nonivaziv parametrelerin geleneksel risk faktörlerine ek olarak kardiyovasküler riskin değerlendirilmesi ve ani kardiyak ölüm riskinin öngörülmesinde ılımlı bir rolü olabilir. Fakat daha kesin yargıya varılabilmesi için farklı hasta gruplarını içeren, daha geniş ve uzun dönemli çalışmalar gerekmektedir
