Abstract
The autonomic nervous system dysfunction has been reported in up to 76% of stroke patients 7 days after an acute stroke. Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the important indicators reflecting the balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. Therefore, we performed a systematic literature review of existing literature on the association between heart rate variability and the different types of stroke. We included studies published in the last 32 years (1990 to 2022). The electronic databases MEDLINE and PubMed were searched. We selected the research that met the inclusion or exclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis was performed. This review aimed to summarize evidence regarding the potential mechanism of heart rate variability among patients after stroke. In addition, the association of clinical characteristics of heart rate variability and stroke has been depicted. The review further discussed the relationship between post-stroke infection and heart rate variability, which could assist in curbing clinical infection in patients with stroke. HRVas a noninvasive clinical monitoring tool can quantitatively assess the changes in autonomic nervous system activity and further predict the outcome of stroke. HRV could play an important role in guiding the clinical practice for autonomic nervous system disorder after stroke.
期刊介绍:
The Neurologist publishes articles on topics of current interest to physicians treating patients with neurological diseases. The core of the journal is review articles focusing on clinically relevant issues. The journal also publishes case reports or case series which review the literature and put observations in perspective, as well as letters to the editor. Special features include the popular "10 Most Commonly Asked Questions" and the "Patient and Family Fact Sheet," a handy tear-out page that can be copied to hand out to patients and their caregivers.
