Nussinovitch N et al. – This study sought to evaluate HRV in patients with FMF, at rest and in the standing position. The study sample included Patients with FMF who are continuously treated with low-dose colchicine have not developed amyloidosis and have normal HRV parameters in the supine and upright position.
Methods- Study sample included 34 patients with FMF and 34 sex- and age-matched control subjects
- All participants underwent electrocardiography according to strict criteria
- HRV parameters computed with custom-made software
- No significant difference in HRV parameters, in either supine or standing position, between FMF and control groups
- In both groups, upright position was associated with significant decrease, when compared with the supine position, in maximal RR interval, minimal RR, average RR, root square of successive differences in RR interval, number of intervals differing by >50 ms from preceding interval (NN50), NN50 divided by total number of intervals (pNN50) and high-frequency components as well as significant increase in average heart rate, very low frequency or low-frequency components, low-frequency/high-frequency components ratio and total power
