Heart rate variability in obesity and the effect of weight loss
Abstract
To investigate the effects of obesity and weight loss on cardiovascular autonomic function, we examined 28 obese patients referred for weight-reducing gastroplasty, 24 obese patients who received dietary recommendations, and 28 lean subjects. Body weight, blood pressure, and 24-hour urinary norepinephrine excretion were measured, and time and frequency domain indexes of heart rate variability (HRV) were obtained from 24-hour Holter recordings. A measure of long-term HRV, the SD of all normal RR intervals (SDANN), was used as an index of sympathetic activity and the high-frequency (HF) component of the frequency domain, reflecting short-term HRV, as an estimate of vagal activity. All 3 study groups were investigated at baseline, and the 2 obese groups were reexamined at 1-year follow-up. Obese patients had higher blood pressure, higher urinary norepinephrine excretion, and attenuated SDANN and HF values than lean subjects (p <0.01). Obese patients treated with surgery had a mean weight loss of 32 kg (28%), whereas the obese group treated with dietary recommendations remained weight stable (p <0.001). At follow-up the weight-loss group displayed decreases in blood pressure and norepinephrine excretion and showed increments in SDANN and HF values. These changes were significantly greater than those observed in the obese control group (p <0.05). Our findings suggest that obese patients have increased sympathetic activity and a withdrawal of vagal activity and that these autonomic disturbances improve after weight loss.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
