Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or treatment using a real physician. We are not docs. Always confer with your mD on Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability Clinical research trials and Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually measure the effectiveness of new drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for physicians, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all forms of circumstances, like Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability. Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Most times the participants receive treatment for free, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability clinical trial. Subjects typically recieve the finest healthcare available for their Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability condition. Hazards are a reality, nonetheless, and might include more or frequent mD trips, health risks (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Cohort Study of Heart Rate Variability
For Condition: Hypertension,Diabetes Mellitus,Heart Diseases,Myocardial Ischemia,Carotid Stenosis,Cardiovascular Diseases
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To examine factors affecting heart rate variability (HRV) and the role of HRV in heart disease. Specifically, to examine the role of HRV: as a predictor of fatal and nonfatal ischemic heart disease over a six year follow-up of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) population based, bi-ethnic cohort; on the six year progression of carotid atherosclerosis measured by B-mode ultrasound; and on the incidence of hypertension. Also, to study the effect of elevated fasting insulin, glucose, diabetes mellitus, and other metabolic abnormalities on changes in HRV over nine years of follow-up.
Details: BACKGROUND: Heart rate variability analysis has been widely used in clinical research as a noninvasive measurement of autonomic function. It has been found to be associated with post-myocardial infarction mortality, hypertension, sudden cardiac death, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. However, little epidemiologic research on HRV had been reported prior to this study in 1996. Almost no data were available on the population distribution of HRV, its correlates in populations, the factors associated with changes in HRV over time, or on the cardiovascular sequelae of impaired autonomic function assessed by HRV obtained from population-based prospective studies. DESIGN NARRATIVE: The study was ancillary to ARIC, a population-based, longitudinal study of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. The baseline exam was completed in 1987 to 1988, followed by yearly contacts and re-examinations every three years. The present study built on the data collected by the ARIC investigators by retrieving and processing beat-to-beat heart rate data collected during the baseline exam. Five minutes of beat-to-beat heart rate data were obtained from the ARIC cohort participants during their third follow-up visit (Visit) 4 in 1996 through 1998. Time and frequency domain HRV indices were derived for an assessment of autonomic function. The following HRV indices were computed both for the baseline and the nine-year follow-up exam (1996 through 1998) on the 13,000 members of the ARIC cohort: time domain indices; mean heart rate, minimum and maximum heart rate, standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals, the coefficient of variation of all normal R-R intervals, root mean square of the differences of successive R-R intervals, and the proportion of adjacent R-R intervals. Frequency domain indices were also computed, including high frequency power, low frequency power, and the high/low frequency power ratio.
