RESUMO
Background: The autonomic nervous system plays a central role in cardiovascular regulation; sympathetic activation occurs during myocardial ischemia. Objective: To assess the spectral analysis of heart rate variability during stent implantation, comparing the types of stent. Methods: This study assessed 61 patients (mean age, 64.0 years; 35 men) with ischemic heart disease and indication for stenting. Stent implantation was performed under Holter monitoring to record the spectral analysis of heart rate variability (Fourier transform), measuring the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) components, and the LF/HF ratio before and during the procedure. Results: Bare-metal stent was implanted in 34 patients, while the others received drug-eluting stents. The right coronary artery was approached in 21 patients, the left anterior descending, in 28, and the circumflex, in 9. As compared with the pre-stenting period, all patients showed an increase in LF and HF during stent implantation (658 versus 185 ms2, p = 0.00; 322 versus 121, p = 0.00, respectively), with no change in LF/HF. During stent implantation, LF was 864 ms2 in patients with bare-metal stents, and 398 ms2 in those with drug-eluting stents (p = 0.00). The spectral analysis of heart rate variability showed no association with diabetes mellitus, family history, clinical presentation, beta-blockers, age, and vessel or its segment. Conclusions: Stent implantation resulted in concomitant sympathetic and vagal activations. Diabetes mellitus, use of beta-blockers, and the vessel approached showed no influence on the spectral analysis of heart rate variability. Sympathetic activation was lower during the implantation of drug-eluting stents. .
Fundamento: O sistema nervoso autônomo tem papel central na regulação cardiovascular, ocorrendo uma ativação simpática durante a isquemia miocárdica. Objetivo: Avaliar a análise espectral da frequência cardíaca (AE) durante o implante de stent, comparando os tipos de stent. Métodos: Foram estudados 61 pacientes (idade média de 64 anos), 35 homens, com cardiopatia isquêmica e indicação de implante de stent. O implante foi feito sob monitoramento pelo Holter para o registro da AE (transformação de Fourier), com medidas dos componentes LF (baixa frequência), HF (alta frequência) e relação LF/HF, antes e durante o procedimento. Resultados: Implante de stent convencional feito em 34 pacientes; nos demais, farmacológico. A coronária abordada foi a direita em 21 pacientes, a descendente anterior em 28, a circunflexa em nove. Houve aumento do LF e do HF durante o implante em todos os pacientes, comparando-se com o período antes do implante (658 versus 185 ms2, p = 0,00, para LF; 322 versus 121 ms2, p = 0,00, para HF, respectivamente), sem alteração da LF/HF. LF durante o implante foi de 864 ms2 nos pacientes com stent convencional e de 398 com farmacológico (p = 0,00). Não houve associação entre a AE e a presença de diabetes, história familiar, apresentação clínica, uso de betabloqueador (BB), idade, vaso ou seu segmento. Conclusões: O implante de stent resultou em ativação simpática e concomitante ativação vagal. Não houve influência do quadro de diabetes, uso de BB e vaso sobre a AE. Houve menor ativação simpática durante o implante de stent farmacológico. .
