Association between severity of hypoglycemia and loss of heart rate variability in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus

The occurrence of hypoglycemia has been associated with the presence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. Cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests are the gold standard diagnostic method for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. Nevertheless, impaired heart rate variability indices on spectral analysis have been reported before cardiovascular autonomic reflex test abnormalities arise. The objective of the present study was to analyse the association between the severity of hypoglycemia and indices of heart rate variability on spectral analysis.
