Key result
Short-term clinical measurements of heart rate variability in Type 2 diabetes demonstrated poor absolute reliability but substantial relative reliability (intraclass correlation 0.58 to 0.90).
Why the study?
Are standard short-term clinical measurements of heart rate variability reliable in patients with Type 2 diabetes?
Observational (n=24)
Are standard short-term clinical measurements of heart rate variability reliable in patients with Type 2 diabetes?
Short-term clinical measurements of heart rate variability in patients with Type 2 diabetes have poor absolute reliability but good relative reliability, suggesting they are more useful for initial diagnosis than for sequential follow-up.

Sacre et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=24). Short-term clinical measurements of heart rate variability was evaluated on Absolute and relative reliability of heart rate variability parameters. Short-term clinical measurements of heart rate variability in Type 2 diabetes demonstrated poor absolute reliability but substantial relative reliability (intraclass correlation 0.58 to 0.90).
