Overview

May support SBE for HRV in T2DM; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before any practice change.

Structured PICO

Does slow breathing exercise improve heart rate variability in male patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus?

P
Population
30 male patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (aged 45-55 years, disease duration 5-10 years) and 30 age/BMI-matched healthy controls (total n=60).
I
Intervention
Slow breathing exercise (30 mins twice daily) for 3 months along with medical treatment.
C
Comparator
Pre-exercise baseline values and age/BMI-matched healthy controls.
O
Outcome
Heart rate variability parameters (Mean HR, mean R-R interval, SDNN, RMSSD) at 3 months.surrogate

Slow breathing exercise for 3 months significantly improves cardiac autonomic function as measured by heart rate variability in middle-aged male patients with type 2 diabetes.
