Decreased heart rate variability (HRV), indicative of autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction, is commonly observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), affecting both sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation.

摘要

Decreased heart rate variability (HRV), indicative of autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction, is commonly observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), affecting both sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation. A free version of a commercial software has become an important tool for HRV analysis, providing a comprehensive evaluation of parameters. However, its lack of an automatic algorithm for selecting a 5-min time-window for short-term evaluations makes the analysis time-consuming, operator-dependent, and susceptible to bias. This study aims to compare the impact of manual versus a novel automatic time-window selection algorithm for HRV analysis in T2DM individuals employing the open-source PyHRV library. Thirty-one individuals with T2DM were included in the analyses. No statistically significant differences were observed between manual and automatic time- window selection in this population (p > 0.05), suggesting that the automatic selection algorithm can be employed without compromising the HRV results.
