Temporal Clustering of Skin Sympathetic Nerve Activity Bursts in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients
Backgrounds: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) affects the autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. The aim of our study is to detect the particular patterns of ANS regulation in AMI. We hypothesize that altered ANS regulation in AMI patients causes synchronized neural discharge (clustering phenomen...

The aim of our study is to detect the particular patterns of ANS regulation in AMI. We hypothesize that altered ANS regulation in AMI patients causes synchronized neural discharge (clustering phenomenon) detected by non-invasive skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA).Methods: Forty subjects, including 20 AMI patients and 20 non-AMI controls, participated in the study. The wide-band bioelectrical signals (neuECG) were continuously recorded on the body surface for 5 min. SKNA was signal processed to depict the envelope of SKNA (eSKNA). By labeling the clusters, the AMI subjects were separated into non-AMI, non-cluster appearing (AMINCA), and cluster appearing (AMICA) groups.Results: The average eSKNA was significantly correlated with HRV low-frequency (LF) power (rho = −0.336) and high-frequency power (rho = −0.372). The cross-comparison results demonstrated that eSKNA is a valid surrogate marker to assess ANS in AMI patients. The frequency of cluster occurrence was 0.01–0.03 Hz and the amplitude was about 3 μV. The LF/HF ratio of AMICA (median: 1.877; Q1–Q3: 1.483–2.413) revealed significantly lower than AMINCA (median: 3.959; Q1–Q3: 1.840–6.562). The results suggest that the SKNA clustering is a unique temporal pattern of ANS synchronized discharge, which could indicate the lower sympathetic status (by HRV) in AMI patients.Conclusion: This is the first study to identify SKNA clustering phenomenon in AMI patients. Such a synchronized nerve discharge pattern could be detected with non-invasive SKNA signals. SKNA temporal clustering could be a novel biomarker to classify ANS regulation ability in AMI patients.Clinical and Translational Significance: SKNA is higher in AMI patients than in control and negatively correlates with parasympathetic parameters. SKNA clustering is associated with a lower LF/HF ratio that has been shown to correlate with sudden cardiac death in AMI. The lack of SKNA temporal clustering could indicate poor ANS regulation in AMI patients.Chun LiuChien-Hung LeeChien-Hung LeeShien-Fong LinShien-Fong LinWei-Chung TsaiWei-Chung TsaiFrontiers Media S.A.articleacute myocardial infarctionautonomic nervous systemclustering nerve activitynon-invasive measurementneuECGNeurosciences.
