Summary: Electrocardiography and heart rate variability are important for assessing equine cardiovascular health and fitness. This study validated a user-friendly smart textile system as a reliable alternative to the gold-standard telemetric device. Simultaneous ECGs were obtained using both devices during rest and submaximal exercise, and no differences were observed in heart rate or heart rate variability metrics.

Summary: The prognosis of myocarditis varies greatly, so it is crucial to identify new prognostic factors. The prognostic role of ultra-short heart-rate variability (HRV) in myocarditis is still unknown. In a retrospective study, clinical, laboratory, and HRV parameters were assessed as predictors of severe short-term complications in adult patients with clinically suspected myocarditis. It was found that RMSSD may be a prognostic indicator in myocarditis.

Summary: The study examines altered heart rate variability (HRV) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to typically developing children and those with other psychiatric conditions. Using machine learning, specific time, frequency, and geometric signal-analytical domains for ASD were identified. Despite a small cohort and lack of external validation, results suggest the need for larger prospective studies to validate findings.

Summary: This paper explores the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and the age and gender of patients. By developing mathematical and machine learning models, a classification detector and level estimator were created to improve the performance of a noninvasive glucose estimator. The study found a moderate correlation between age, gender, and HRV, shedding light on the complex interplay between individual parameters.

Summary: The study demonstrates the predictive value of heart rate and heart rate variability power for ketamine treatment in major depressive disorder. These factors can also differentiate between responders and non-responders, highlighting the importance of the autonomous nervous system in MDD. Further research on the predictive power of HR and HRV markers is recommended for optimizing treatment options for MDD.

Summary: N95 FFR use by gastroenterologists during colonoscopy simulations can lead to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, fatigue, and headache, as well as physiological changes including elevated heart rate. While powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) use is better tolerated, it is still associated with headache and increased heart rate in some individuals.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of climate change on the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry, highlighting the challenges posed by increased water temperatures and reduced oxygen levels. By utilizing data storage tags, researchers were able to monitor the effects of sea-cage conditions on the physiology and behavior of salmon. The results suggest that pathogen challenges combined with high temperatures, rather than just high temperatures and moderate hypoxia, present the biggest climate-related challenge for the industry.

Summary: Heart rate variability (HRV) is commonly used in neuroimaging studies to assess autonomic, emotional, or cognitive processes. This study found that the MRI environment had limited impact on HRV measures compared to the choice of cardiac signal analysis method, with psychological factors showing less influence. Familiarization sessions did not change the HRV outcome, suggesting methodological choice is crucial in HRV assessment during MRI scans.

Summary: Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a form of cardiorespiratory coupling observed as changes in heart rate in synchrony with respiration, hypothesized to be a combination of linear and nonlinear effects. A framework using support vector machines to quantify RSA is proposed, based on multivariate autoregressive models predicting heart rate variability as combinations of past respiration samples, with the ability to consider linear or both linear and nonlinear components for regression. Tests show that the method captures nonlinear components in weak coupling, while linear interaction is more prominent in real data.

Summary: This study compared seven state-of-the-art methods for RSA quantification using simulated data and a real-life application, with some methods showing the best performance on simulated data and capturing expected trends in changes in cardiorespiratory coupling during sleep. The objective comparison of methods presented in this study can guide future analyses and the proposed simulation model is freely accessible online for further research.

Summary: Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with increased risk for coronary events, while elevated levels of cardiac troponins (cTn) suggest myocardial injury. This study found that acute PM2.5 exposure may elevate indicators of myocardial tissue damage, supporting the link between air pollution exposure and adverse cardiovascular events.

Summary: This study found higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in neighborhoods that were predominantly rural, low-SES, and non-White in North Carolina. This highlights the importance of public health outreach and healthcare system involvement in these communities to promote cardiometabolic health and prevent/manage hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease.

Summary: This study found that daily elevations in PM2.5 were associated with damage to cardiomyocytes, not only limited to the occurrence of myocardial infarction. Poor air quality may lead to persistent damage to the cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and adverse cardiovascular events. This study strengthens the understanding of the impact of PM2.5 on cardiovascular health.

Summary: Long-term exposure to air pollution, particularly fine particulate matter, is a significant global risk factor for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarctions. Using a new modeling approach, this study found that higher concentrations of PM2.5 from sources like ammonium bisulfate and ammonium nitrate are associated with increased prevalence of CAD and MI, suggesting a potential role for aerosol acidity in cardiovascular health.
