Ischemic heart disease continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. Nowadays, research is focusing on the role of the brain-heart axis in autonomic nervous system balance. Resting heart rate variability (HRV) could help to identify the readiness of ischemic patients to achieve cardiac rehabilitation exercise stimulus in a safer manner. The objectives of the study were i) to analyze the resting HRV in ischemic cardiopathy, determining whether it was below or within its normal range, and ii) to identify the effect of the psychophysiological parameters of age, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, and quality of life. This was a cross-sectional study of patients affected by ischemic cardiopathy. The patients were divided into the nonNormal-HRV or Normal-HRV group according to their normal resting HRV. The HRV temporal and frequency domains were recorded along with heart rate and blood pressure, BMI, cardiorespiratory fitness and auto-perception. The sample comprised men with an average age of 58.64±9.54 years. In total, 43.92% were below their normal resting-HRV range. They were older (P<.001, d=.856), had worse auto-perception (P<.001, d=.473), and higher systolic and lower diastolic blood pressure (P<.001, d=.446; P=.007, d=.29). HRV domains correlated directly (P<.05) with diastolic blood pressure and inversely with heart rate and age. The percentage of low resting-HRV scores in ischemic patients was higher than expected and was conditioned by age, blood pressure and heart rate. Moreover, the patients had worse auto-perception. All these factors should be considered to optimize cardiac rehabilitation programs.
