The relationship of heart rate and heart rate variability to non‐diabetic fasting glucose levels and the metabolic syndrome: The Cardiovascular Health Study

Abstract

Increased HR and diminished HRV occur in the non-diabetic FG range. Diminished HRV is associated with the MetS, independent of FG levels. Both these results suggest that factors associated with increasing non-diabetic FG levels and the MetS play a role in the onset of cardiac autonomic impairment.
