Pre-implant Heart Activity Differs in Responders and Non-responders to Vagal Nerve Stimulation Therapy in Epileptic Patients |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) is used to treat patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. However, generally accepted tools to predict VNS response do not exist. Here we examined two heart activity measures - mean RR and pNN50 and their complex behavior during activation in pre-implant measurements. The ECG recordings of 73 patients (38 responders, 36 non-responders) were examined in a 30-sec floating window before (120 sec), during (2x120 sec), and after (120 sec) the hyperventilation by nose and mouth. The VNS response differentiation by pNN50 was significant (min p=0.01) in the hyperventilation by a nose with a noticeable descendant trend in nominal values. The mean RR was significant (p=0.01) in the rest after the hyperventilation by mouth but after an approximately 40-sec delay. |
