Implication

May support early post-cardiac surgery risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger prospective trials.

Structured PICO

Does heart rate variability analysis predict complications in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery?

P
Population
Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery
E
Exposure
Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis
O
Outcome
Prediction of post-operative complications

HRV analysis shows promise as a tool to detect autonomic instability and predict complications after adult cardiac surgery, though larger studies are needed for routine clinical implementation.

Limitations

  • Future larger studies are warranted before HRV can be included into daily clinical practice in adult cardiac surgery
  • Future larger studies are warranted before HRV can be included into daily clinical practice

Cite This Study

Nenna et al. (2017) conducted a review in Adult cardiac surgery. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis was evaluated on Post-operative complications. Heart rate variability analysis is a novel tool that may detect autonomic instability and predict post-operative complications in adult cardiac surgery.
