Key result
The amplitude of motor and sensory responses assessed by nerve conduction studies was significantly associated with reduced heart rate variability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.0001).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between neurophysiological sensory and motor nerve function parameters assessed by nerve conduction studies and parasympathetic autonomic function assessed by heart rate variability tests in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Is there a correlation between somatic nerve function (assessed by NCS) and cardiac autonomic nerve function (assessed by HRV) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

May link peripheral neuropathy to autonomic impairment in T2DM; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Is there a correlation between somatic nerve function (assessed by NCS) and cardiac autonomic nerve function (assessed by HRV) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
p-value: p=0.0001
In patients with type 2 diabetes, damage to large motor and sensory fibers correlates with damage to cardiac autonomic nerves, suggesting a combined diagnostic approach using NCS and HRV tests.
Moțățăianu et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=161). Nerve conduction studies (NCS) parameters was evaluated on Relationship between neurophysiological sensory and motor nerve function parameters and parasympathetic autonomic function (p=0.0001). The amplitude of motor and sensory responses assessed by nerve conduction studies was significantly associated with reduced heart rate variability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.0001).
