Abstract | Both experimental and clinical studies have shown that the autonomic nervous system plays an important role in arrhythmogenesis. Many methods describing cardiovascular autonomic regulation have been developed and tested for use as predictors of arrhythmic and other cardiovascular events. The majority of studies have focused on patients with known cardiac disease, such as prior myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure. All-cause mortality, as well as non-sudden and sudden cardiac death have been used as main endpoints. Sudden cardiac death has often been considered to be equivalent to arrhythmic cardiac arrest. Despite promising results in this field, markers of the autonomic nervous system are still not routinely used in clinical practice, mainly due to the fact that measurement of these markers does not result in evidence-based therapeutic implications. There is still a lack of randomized trials using autonomic markers as pre-defined variables in selecting patients for the studies, which would have yielded results that an intervention reduces the arrhythmic or other endpoint in those with abnormal or impaired autonomic regulation. Hence, at present, the possible use of autonomic assessment in predicting life-threatening arrhythmias is restricted to individual cases at the borders of intervention guidelines. |
