Abstract

Purpose

Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus exhibit impairments in autonomic and cardiovascular control which are worsened with acute hypoglycemia––thus increasing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Hypoxia, as seen with the common comorbidity of sleep apnea, may lead to further autonomic dysfunction and an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias. Therefore, we hypothesized that heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) would be reduced during hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes, with a further decline when combined with hypoxia.

Methods

Subjects with type 1 diabetes (n = 13; HbA1c = 7.5 ± 0.3 %, duration of diabetes = 17 ± 5 yrs) completed two 180 min hyperinsulinemic (2 mU/kg TBW/min), hypoglycemic (~3.3 µmol/mL) clamps separated by a minimum of 1 week and randomized to normoxia (SpO2 ~98 %) or hypoxia (SpO2 ~85 %). Heart rate (electrocardiogram) and blood pressure (finger photoplethysmography) were analyzed at baseline and during the hypoglycemic clamp for measures of HRV and spontaneous cardiac BRS (sCBRS).

Results

Hypoglycemia resulted in significant reductions in HRV and sCBRS when compared with baseline levels (main effect of hypoglycemia: p < 0.05). HRV and sCBRS were further impaired during hypoxia (main effect of hypoxia: p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Acute hypoxia worsens hypoglycemia-mediated impairments in autonomic and cardiovascular control in patients with type 1 diabetes and may increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality. These results highlight the potential cumulative dangers of hypoglycemia and hypoxia in this vulnerable population.

Akuter Schwindel: Wann lohnt sich eine MRT?

28.04.2024 Schwindel Nachrichten

Akuter Schwindel stellt oft eine diagnostische Herausforderung dar. Wie nützlich dabei eine MRT ist, hat eine Studie aus Finnland untersucht. Immerhin einer von sechs Patienten wurde mit akutem ischämischem Schlaganfall diagnostiziert.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.
