Abstract |
Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) is a major complication of diabetes. DAN has been shown to be closely related to glycemic control. To contribute significantly to the morbidity and mortality of the disease, and to be indicative of an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Tests assessing the function of the autonomic nervous system, such as the response of heart rate and blood pressure to maneuvers stimulating the autonomic nervous system, including deep breathing. Valsalva maneuver and standing, allowed to detect signs of DAN in adolescents; however, the sensitivity of such tests in revealing an early impairment of the autonomic nervous system proved low. Several studies found heart rate variability (HRV) to be useful in assessing the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system in diabetic children and adolescents, but only few HRV parameters were evaluated in most of them. |
