Key result
Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly and independently associated with decreased one-minute heart rate recovery after exercise (P<0.001).
Why the study?
Heart rate recovery after exercise and impaired renal function are both linked to cardiac mortality, prompting investigation into their association.
Is lower eGFR associated with decreased one-minute heart rate recovery after exercise in patients referred for treadmill testing?
Cross-Sectional (n=2,153)
No
Is lower eGFR associated with decreased one-minute heart rate recovery after exercise in patients referred for treadmill testing?
p-value: p=<0.001
Lower eGFR is independently associated with decreased one-minute heart rate recovery after exercise, suggesting impaired parasympathetic activity recovery in patients with reduced renal function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice; hypothesis-generating for autonomic effects of reduced eGFR.
Chang et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Patients referred for a treadmill exercise test (n=2,153). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was evaluated on One-minute heart rate recovery (HRR) (p=<0.001). Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly and independently associated with decreased one-minute heart rate recovery after exercise (P<0.001).
