Chronic Sleep Deprivation and Ventricular Arrhythmias: Effect of Sympathetic Nervous System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Chronic sleep deprivation through activation of sympathetic nervous system leads to destructive effect on different body organs. We assessed the effect of chronic sleep deprivation on incidence of ischemia/reperfusion-induced ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation) and the role of the sympathetic nervous system in this respect. Materials and Methods: A total of 24 Rats were randomly divided into four groups of six; 1) ischemia/reperfusion group (IR): 30 minutes ischemia followed by 60 minutes reperfusion was induced, 2) control group (CON): rats has been placed in large multiple platforms for 72h prior to ischemia and reperfusion, 3) Chronic sleep deprivation group (SD): 72h sleep deprivation was induced by using small multiple platform prior to ischemia and reperfusion, 4) Sympathectomy group (SYM): chemical sympathectomy was done 24h before to chronic sleep deprivation and then underwent ischemia and reperfusion. The heart isolated and perfused by langendorff apparatus. After thoracotomy and aorta cannulation, the hearts perfused in the langendorff apparatus using krebs-Henseleit buffer. Hearts were allowed to recovery for 15 min. After recovery period, 15 minutes was considered as baseline prior to 30 minutes ischemia followed by 60 minutes reperfusion. Two thin stainless steel electrodes fixed on the ventricular apex and right atrium for recording the lead II of electrocardiogram (ECG). Results: There were no significant differences in heart rates between groups, and ventricular tachycardia significantly increased in chronic sleep deprivation group as compared with IR group in ischemia period. Sympathectomy significantly reduced ventricular tachycardia incidence when compared with SD. There is no difference in incidence of ventricular tachycardia between control group and IR group. The incidence of ventricular fibrillation during early reperfusion was significantly augmented (p<0.05) in sleep deprivation group as compared with IR group and Sympathectomy significantly could reverse ventricular fibrillation incidence to IR group level as compared with SD group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Induction of 72h sleep deprivation prior to ischemia and reperfusion increased the probability of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation occurrence during ischemia and reperfusion and chemical sympathectomy could eliminate this effect.

Sleep deprivation potentiates activation of cardiovascular and catecholamine responses in abstinent alcoholics.
Alcohol dependence is associated with an increased incidence of hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias, but the triggering mechanisms are not known. Sleep loss, common in alcohol-dependent patients, causes an activation of the sympathetic nervous system. To determine whether sleep deprivation induces differential cardiovascular and sympathetic responses in alcohol dependence, we measured heart ra...
متن کاملDecreased cardiac parasympathetic activity in chronic heart failure and its relation to left ventricular function.
BACKGROUND Activation of the sympathetic nervous system has been extensively studied in patients with chronic heart failure, but the parasympathetic nervous system has received relatively little attention. The objective in this study was to investigate cardiac parasympathetic activity in chronic heart failure and to explore its relation to left ventricular function. METHODS Heart rate variabi...
متن کاملArrhythmias and conduction disturbances in obstructive sleep apnoea: the heart of the problem?
H eart rhythm disorders temporally associated with obstructive apnoeic events have been highlighted for more than 30 years. An ECG from polysomnographic recordings enables both sleep medicine specialists and cardiologists to address occasional very impressive paroxysmal atrioventricular conduction blocks or sinus pauses (of up to 10 s during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep) [1]. The pathophysiol...

In the past few decades, Americans have been eating more and sleeping less, and some researchers now suspect that there may be a connection. A number of cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort studies have suggested that chronic sleep deprivation is associated with an increased risk of obesity. 1-4It is thought that sleep deprivation may promote weight gain by altering sympathetic nervous syste...
متن کاملRole of sympathetic nervous system in non-ischaemic ventricular arrhythmias.
Propranolol and nadolol were used in two groups of patients having ventricular arrhythmias. The two groups were characterised by differences in sympathetic drive. The 10 non-adrenergic patients had idiopathic, monomorphic extrasystoles (isolated with fixed coupling or in pairs or salvoes) arising from the right ventricle or the septum. These extrasystoles were chronic and benign, with a slightl...
