Abstract |
To determine the rate of subcilnical autonomic abnormalities in asymptomatic diabetic patients, non-invasive tests using cardiovascular reflexes were performed. Sixty diabetics without any clinical autonomic symptoms and/or signs, and agematched thirty healthy persons were selected as a patients group and normal control group, respectively.
By using the computerized cardioanalyser(Autocardiner FCP-2201U), the results including
R-R variation to deep breathing, Valsalva ratio, positional changes of heart rate and
blood pressure were compared between two groups.
Among the sixty diabetics, 44 subjects(73.3%) showed abnormal findings in at least one
of autonomic function test. The sensitivity detecting autonomic abnormalities of the
R-R variation to deep breathing, Valsalva ratio, positional changes of heart rate was
97.8%, 59%, and 31.8%, respectively. And the positional changes of blood pressure was
not remarkable in all subjects. The R-R variation to deep breathing and Valsalva ratio
significantly decreased in patient group(p<0.05). But the positional changes of heart
rate(30:15 ratio) was not significant between two group (p>O. 05).
It is consequently suggested that high percentage of asymptomatic diabetic patients
show a subclinical autonomic abnormalities. In addition, the R-R variation to deep
breathing and Valsalva ratio using cardioanalyser could be a good screening diagnostic
test of diabetic autonomic neuropathy. |
