Factor Information
Data ID 3569
Factor cNCR [corrected NCR]
Description The cNCR in simple CHD (post atrial or ventricular septal defect closure), complex biventricular CHD, and Fontan patients were 0.92±0.04, 0.94±0.04 and 0.96±0.04, respectively, and higher than in controls (0.87±0.03, p<0.001).
Biomarker NA
Classification A3 (clinical factor - disease & symptom)
Association
Application treatment and prognosis
Objective To investigate the negative chronotropic response (NCR) to low-dose atropine in postoperative patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).
p Value <0.001
Conclusion NCR is attenuated in proportion to the impaired cardiac parasympathetic nervous system and hemodynamics in postoperative complex biventricular CHD patients. In addition to PST, β sensitivity of the sinus node significantly influences the NCR in Fontan patients.

Sample
Population All (9-36 years)
Source patients
Region Osaka, Japan
Method NCR corrected for basal heart rate (HR) (minimal HR/basal HR=cNCR) was determined after low-dose atropine (3 Ag/kg) administration and was compared with the cardiac autonomic nervous and functional status.
