Evaluation of the effect on heart rate variability of a beta2-adrenoceptor agonist and antagonist using non-linear scatterplot and sequence methods.

Abstract：

AIMS:To examine the impact on heart rate variability (HRV), of agonism or antagonism at the cardiac beta2-adrenoceptor in healthy volunteers, using standard time-domain summary statistics and non-linear methods (scatterplot and quadrant analysis). METHODS:Under double-blind and randomised conditions (Latin square design), 17 normal volunteers received placebo, salbutamol (beta2-adrenoceptor partial agonist), ICI 118,551 (specific beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist), or salbutamol plus ICI 118,551. Single oral doses of medication (at weekly intervals) were administered at 22.30 h, with HRV assessed from the sleeping heart rates. RESULTS:Salbutamol reduced the long-term (SDNN: 135 ms [120, 156], SDANN: 107 ms [89, 124]) time-domain indicators of HRV compared with placebo (SDNN: 39 [24, 55], SDANN 42 [29, 56], [mean difference [95% confidence intervals of difference]]). Alone, ICI 118,551 did not effect HRV, but in combination blocked the actions of salbutamol. Scatterplot length (944 ms [869, 1019]) and area (222*10(3) ms2 [191, 253]) were reduced by salbutamol compared with placebo; (length difference (164 [98, 230]) and area difference 59 [36, 83]). Scatterplot width (dispersion) was lower at both low (width RR-1 25% salbutamol 277 ms [261, 293]: salbutamol minus placebo 14 ms [0, 28]) and high (width 75% salbutamol 417 [391, 443]: salbutamol minus placebo 41 [20, 62]) heart rates. ICI 118,551 alone did not alter scatterplot parameters but in combination blocked the effect of salbutamol. Cardiac acceleration episodes (i.e. consecutive deltaRR and deltaRRn+1 shorten) were increased following salbutamol 7288 [6089, 8486] compared with placebo -1890 [-2600, -1179]; the beat-to beat difference (deltaRRn+1) was reduced after salbutamol compared with the other treatments. ICI 118,551 did not effect acceleration episodes but reduced the effect of salbutamol when used in combination. CONCLUSIONS:Agonism at the cardiac beta2-adrenoceptor in healthy volunteers with salbutamol altered autonomic balance towards sympathetic dominance; this re-balancing was blocked by ICI 118,551 given in combination with salbutamol. However antagonism at the beta2-adrenoceptor with ICI 118,551 alone did not significantly alter the HRV. The beta2-adrenoceptor modulates HRV in healthy volunteers; the implications of agonism and antagonism at the beta2-adrenoceptor in cardiovascular disease states warrants further investigation.
