HRV depression in diabetic children ≥11 years associates with poorer metabolic control; leaves open whether puberty-timed screening improves outcomes.
Does heart rate variability (HRV) analysis detect subclinical autonomic neuropathy in diabetic children?
Early puberty is a critical period for the development of diabetic cardiac autonomic dysfunction, suggesting that HRV screening should begin at the first stage of puberty.
Massin et al. (1999) studied this question.
