Abstract | Average TWA activity has been shown to be an independent predictor of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. However, the influence of circadian rhythms on TWA remains understudied. In this work, we assessed circadian TWA changes in a CHF population and evaluated whether the prognostic value of TWA indices is sensitive to the circadian pattern. Holter ECG recordings from 626 consecutive CHF patients (52 SCD) were analyzed. The index of average alternans (IAA), quantifying the average TWA level, was measured in 4 consecutive 6-hour intervals using a multilead fully-automated method. Survival analysis was performed considering SCD as an independent endpoint. IAA changed along the day, with statistically significant lower values during the night than during daytime. This pattern is similar to the one observed in the mean heart rate (HR). However, a low correlation (r=.18) was found between IAA and HR in windows of 128 beats. After dichotomization of patients based on the third quartile of IAA indices, IAA indices computed between hours 06-12 (IAA06–12) and 18–24 (IAA18–24) successfully predicted SCD (Hazard Ratio, HaR:2.34(1.33–4.13)per μV, andHaR:1.87(1.04–3.36) per μV, respectively). In conclusion, circadian variation should be considered for SCD risk prediction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
