Multiparameters of heart rate variability predict symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation in patients following mechanical thrombectomy
摘要
Hemorrhagic transformation (HT), especially symptomatic HT (sHT), seriously affects the functional prognosis in patients following mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The present study aimed to investigate the association of HT with heart rate variability (HRV) using multiple parameters in patients undergoing MT.
MethodsBetween November 2019 and April 2024, we enrolled eligible patients according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Linear parameters and nonlinear approaches reflecting HRV were calculated and analyzed.
ResultsA total of 254 patients were included in the analysis, including 56 patients with HT and 198 patients without, and 24 patients with sHT and 230 patients without. Nonlinear approaches including SD1/SD2 ratio, Higuchi fractal dimension (HFD), large-scale multiscale entropy index (MSELS), multiscale entropy area under the curve (MSEAUC), large-scale composite multiscale entropy index (CMSELS), and composite multiscale entropy area under the curve (CMSEAUC) were showed to be independently associated with sHT (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, receiver operating characteristic curves suggested that CMSELS was a better indicator to predict sHT than other HRV parameters, with the area under the curve of 0.708 (95%CI 0.581–0.835).
ConclusionsNonlinear parameters of HRV including SD1/SD2 ratio, HFD, MSELS, MSEAUC, CMSELS, and CMSEAUC provide an independent indicator for predicting sHT in patients following MT.
