| Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Prediction of stroke in healthy individuals is challenging and there is a diurnal variation of stroke onset. We hypothesized that heart rate variability with a focus on nighttime heart rate variability will predict the risk of stroke in apparently healthy middle-age and elderly subjects. METHODS: The population-based cohort of the Copenhagen Holter Study, consisting of 678 healthy subjects between age 55 and 75 years with no history of cardiovascular disease or stroke, was evaluated. All underwent 48-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring. The SD of normal-to-normal RR intervals (SDNN) was selected as the method of measuring heart rate variability. Nighttime SDNN was measured between 02:00 and 02:15 AM and could be evaluated in 653 subjects. Median follow-up was 76 months. RESULTS: Nighttime SDNN was lower in women than in men (P=0.0008), and in diabetics than nondiabetics (P=0.03). However, smoking, cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and age were not associated with nighttime SDNN. The risk of stroke was significantly associated with nighttime SDNN in a univariate analysis (HR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.50-0.88; P=0.004) and after adjustment for conventional risk factors (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.51-0.89; P=0.005) per 10 ms increments of SDNN. Eighty-one percent of all strokes (21/26) occurred in 330 subjects with the lower half of nighttime SDNN (≤38 ms; HR, 4.31; 95% CI, 1.62-11.42; P=0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Nocturnal heart rate variability is a strong marker for the development of stroke in apparently healthy subjects. The mechanism is unknown, but reduced parasympathetic activity may increase the risk of stroke by increasing the risk of arrhythmias. |

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.
