Effects of drug, biobehavioral and exercise therapies on heart rate variability in coronary artery disease: a systematic review
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Heart rate variability (HRV) is reported as a surrogate index for clinical outcome in trials of secondary prevention strategies for coronary artery disease (CAD), but a standardized guide for interpreting HRV change is not established. DESIGN: We evaluated HRV change in trials with CAD patients who received conventional medications (beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors), biobehavioral treatment (psychotropics, biofeedback, relaxation) or exercise training. METHODS: Medline, Pubmed, Psycinfo, the Cochrane database, and Embase were searched until July 2007, without language restriction. We identified 33 randomized controlled trials. Two reviewers independently abstracted all trials using a standardized form. A hierarchy of frequency and time domain HRV indices defined outcome. RESULTS: A random-effects model yielded an overall pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) between treatment and control groups of moderate magnitude across treatment classes, based on a composite of time and frequency domain indices (SMD=0.40, P<0.0001), or only time or frequency indices (SMD=0.37 and 0.43, respectively, both P<0.0001). This change was equivalent to an increase in standard deviation of all normal-to-normal RR intervals of 9.0 ms (95% Confidence Interval, CI, 7.3, 10.7 ms) or a relative increase of 15.9% (95% CI, 13.2, 18.6%). To detect HRV change of this magnitude, a hypothetical trial would require a sample size of 660 patients for conventional medications or 1232 patients for all treatment classes. CONCLUSION: Pharmacologic, biobehavioral and exercise strategies for secondary prevention of CAD significantly increase HRV. This review provides a framework to assist efforts to evaluate the contribution of HRV change to CAD prognosis.

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.
