Why the study?
Is metabolic syndrome associated with lower heart rate variability in middle-aged male twins?
Is metabolic syndrome associated with lower heart rate variability in middle-aged male twins?
Metabolic syndrome is associated with lower heart rate variability, suggesting that abnormal autonomic tone may contribute to the higher cardiovascular risk observed in these patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not change MetS management; hypothesis-generating for autonomic tone as mediator of CV risk in twin designs.
Gehi et al. (2008) studied this question.
