• A power spectral analysis of heart rate variability has been applied in order to assess diabetic autonomic neuropathy and high frequency spectra are thus considered to possibly reflect vagal nerve integrity in patients with diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the findings of high frequency spectra analysis and the results of the Ewing battery. We performed 24-hour power spectral analysis using an ambulatory ECG monitoring system and standard tests in order to assess diabetic autonomic neuropathy (Ewing battery) in 18 diabetic patients to compare their diagnostic values for diabetic autonomic neuropathy. We used the high frequency amplitude (high frequency spectra; 0.15-0.40 Hz) as a direct measure of vagal nerve integrity from each hourly spectral plot. All hourly high frequency spectra decreased along with the impaired assessment of the battery, especially during the night when the high frequency spectra showed a manifest increase in patients classified as normal according to the battery. High frequency spectra during the night while asleep (22:00-05:00) and during a 24-hour period significantly correlated with the results of the battery. These values markedly decreased even in patients classified as having early vagal damage when compared with those classified as normal. High frequency spectra during night closely reflected the intrinsic vagal nerve integrity in patients with diabetes mellitus. High frequency spectra during night or a 24-hour period is a simple and sensitive measure of diabetic autonomic neuropathy and is considered to be a useful modality for detecting even early changes in autonomic dysfunction.
