Abstract

The goal — to evaluate the relationship between the indices of the renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS) and systemic inflammation with the heart rate variability (HRV) and endogenous insulin (EI) in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and metabolic syndrome (MS). Material and methods. A total of 107 patients (62 male, 45 female; age: 66 ± 10 years) with new-onset AF and MS according to the criteria of ATP III (2001) and heart failure (HF) functional class (FC) I-II NYHA. Depending on the EI levels patients were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 consisted of 42 patients with normal EI levels in the blood; group 2 — 29 patients with reactive hyperinsulinemia (HI); group 3 — 36 patients with spontaneous HI. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with parallel determination of glucose (glucose oxidase method), EI, C-reactive protein (C-RP) and circulating plasma aldosterone (enzyme immunoassay), Holter monitoring electrocardiogram (ECG HM) with the assessment temporary HRV were measured. Control group consisted 20 healthy individuals of appropriate ages. Results and discussion. Circulating aldosterone and C-RP levels were significantly increased in patients with reactive / spontaneous HI, as evidenced by the presence of a direct correlation between the EI and aldosterone levels (r=+0.8701, p=0.0011 / r=+0.8733, p=0.0004), EI and C-RP (r=+0.7215, p=0.0035 / r=+0.7627, p=0.0015). Under reactive / spontaneous HI we revealed a strong direct correlation between the aldosterone levels and heart rate (HR) (r=+0.7140, p=0.0028), aldosteron and SDANN (r=+0.8381, p=0.00010) and a negative correlation between the aldosterone levels and RMSSD (r=–0.6263, p=0.0125), aldosterone and pNN50 (r=–0.8434, p=0.00008). During the correlation analysis between the temporal parameters of HRV and chronic systemic inflammation marker C-RP there were
showed a strong direct relationship between C-RP levels and HR (r=+0.7253, p=0.0024), a moderate direct connection between C-RP and SDANN (r=+0.3672, p=0.0044), a strong negative relationship between C-RP and RMSSD (r=–0.7029, p=0.0034), between C-RP and pNN50 (r=–0.8220, p=0.00018) under HI. Conclusion. At the patients with new-onset AF and initial stages of HF and insulin resistance humoral markers of endothelial dysfunction the C-RP and circulating aldosterone significantly are increased, as evidenced by the presence of a strong direct correlation between the aldosterone and EI levels and between C-RP and EI levels. Increased activity of the RAAS with hyperaldosteronemia is accompanied by a decreasing in the parasympathetic nervous system influences on the sinus node, and contributes to the progression of AF in patients with insulin resistance and HF FC I-II.
