1 Mental workload, overload and heart rate variability Jesper Kristiansen The National Research Centre for the Working Environment, Denmark
2 Objectives After the presentation you will: Have a basic understanding of the physiology behind HRV Have knowledge of commonly used HRVderived measures in studies of mental stress, Know which factors other than mental stress that influence HRV, Understand how mental stress is reflected in measures of autonomic regulation that can be derived from HRV.
3 1. HRV basics
4 HRV = Heart rate variability The cardiac conduction system (from: Levick (2003). An Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology, 4th ed.) RR-interval Electrocardiogram (ECG) P Q R S T
5 Regulation of HR Intrinsic heart rate of the denervated heart is almost constant and around 100 bpm. Control Cardiac transplant patient Sands et al (1989). Circulation 79:
6 Regulation of HR The decaying membrane potential of pacemaker cells in the sino-atrial node is the basis for regulation of HR. i K : potassium current; i f : funny current (mainly Na + ); i Ca,T : Transient Ca 2+ channel current; i Ca,L : Long-lasting Ca 2+ channel current. * : Pacemaker potential Levick (2003). An Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology, 4th ed.
7 Central control of the heart rate The cardiovascular center is located in the Medulla oblangata. Input to cardiovascular center: From higher brain centers (cerebral cortex, limbic systems, and hypothalamus) From sensory receptors (baroreceptors, chemoreceptors, proprioceptors) Output to the heart: Increased rate of spontaneous depolarizations in SA (AV) node Increased contractility of atria and ventricles Decreased rate of spontaneous depolarizations in SA (AV) node
8 ANS regulation of HR Sympathetic noradrenaline (NAd) binds to 1 -adrenergic receptors on myocardial pacemaker cells activates adenylate cyclase Parasympathetic acetylcholine (ACh) binds to M2-muscarinic receptors inhibits adenylate cyclase. 2nd messenger (slow) Levick (2003). An Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology, 4th ed.
9 ANS regulation of HR Parasympathetic acetylcholine (ACh) opens K Ach channel hyperpolarizes the membrane potential. No 2nd messenger (fast) Levick (2003). An Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology, 4th ed.
10 ANS regulation of HR HR responses to PVN stimulation in rats High frequency range Stauss et al (1997). Am J Physiol 273: H
11 2. Measures used in HRV studies
12 R-R interval variability measures Tachogram: R-R intervals ECG
13 R-R interval variability measures The tachogram Segment or epoch, length depends on the study from few min >24 hr) You can not compare HRV calculated for different epoch lengths!
14 R-R interval variability measures HRV: The variability of all N-N intervals (e.g., SDNN) Other ECG-derived measures: Measures of the power N-N interval variability at different frequencies (e.g., HF power, LF power, RMSSD) Measures describing other aspects of the N-N interval variability (chaotic, randomness etc.) (e.g., ApE) Other measures derived from the ECG (e.g., heart rate turbulence).
15 Time domain measures Time domain measures express variability by SD or nonparametric measures Variable (units) Definition Interpretation SDNN (ms) Standard deviation of all N-N intervals Total variability (HRV) SDANN (ms) SDNN index (ms) RMSSD (ms) pnn50 (%) The standard deviation of all 5 min epoch averages of N-N intervals. The average of the standard deviations of N-N intervals in all 5 min epochs. The square root of the mean of squared differences of successive N-N intervals Percentage of all successive N-N intervals with length larger than 50 ms. Low frequent modulation of HR Low frequent modulation of HR High frequent modulation of HR High frequent modulation of HR
16 Frequency domain measures Frequency domain measures extracts frequency information by Fast Fourier Transformation analysis (FFT) or autoregressive modelling
17 HRV power spectrum FFT Autoregressive model VLF LF HF
18 Frequency domain measures Variable (units) Definition Interpretation Total power (ms 2 ) Total area under the power density function ( Hz) Total variability (HRV), equal to (SDNN) 2 HFP or HF (ms 2 ) LFP og LF (ms 2 ) VLF (ms 2 ) Area under the power density function in the frequency range Hz Area under the power density function in the frequency range Hz Area under the power density function in the frequency range Hz Parasympathetic modulation of HR (respiratory sinus arrythmia) Sympathetic modulation of HR with contribution from parasympathetic activity Modulation of HR by slow blood pressure regulating systems HF n.u. (normalized units) HF/(TP-VLF) Same as HF LF n.u. (normalized units) LF/(TP-VLF) Same as LF LF/HF LF/HF Autonomic balance, i.e. the balance between sympatethic and parasympathetic activity.
19 Time domain vs. frequency domain Many measures strongly correlated (e.g., SDNN total power, RMSSD HF, RMSSD pnn50 etc.) Difficult to interpret frequency components of HR for long segments (VLF and ULF dominates the power spectrum) The estimation of the power spectrum require stationarity of the signal Power spectrum analysis: 5 min segments are preferred (down to 2 min possible for HF only!). Task force (1996). Heart rate variability. Standards of measurement, physiological interpretation and clinical use. Circulation 93:
20 3. Origins of HRV
21 Respiratory sinus arrythmia (RSA) Fast heart rate (tachycardia) during inspiration Slow heart rate (bradycardia) during expiration. The freqency of the HF component is entrained to the respiration frequency
22 Respiratory sinus arrythmia The exact mechanism causing RSA is not known, but central are: variation of venous return the heart (preload) caused by the respiratory pump, in combination with reflexes that control HR (Bainbridge reflex and baroreceptor reflexes) RSA is therefore an index of the gain of the baroreceptor cardiac vagal reflex responses. Barnardi et al. (2001). Modulatory effects of respiration. Auton Neurosci Basic Clin 90: 47-56
23 10s fluctuations in HR 10 s
24 10s fluctuations in HR Oscillations caused by resonance between HR and different blood pressure regulating systems, e.g.: baroreceptor reflex renin-angiotensin system local endothelial NO system Afferent nerve signal from these blood pressure regulating systems are integrated in the CNS. The HR is result of the balance between efferent nerve traffic from sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves (sympatho-vagal balance).
25 Frequency domain measures HF spectral power is modulated by parasympathetic activity only LF spectral power is modulated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic activity LF/HF reflects sympathovagal balance.
26 Summary: HRV measures HRV is derived from analysis of (normal) R-R intervals, e.g., recorded from an ECG HR oscillates with many frequencies (complex pattern in tachogram) that reflects the influence of different blood pressure systems Rapid fluctuations (HF, Hz) is caused by vagal activity Slow fluctuations (LF, Hz) is caused by a mixture of sympathetic and vagal activity. Slower fluctations is caused by even slower regulatory systems (e.g., temperature fluctations, day-night periodicity).
27 4. Factors that influence HRV
28 Body posture and HRV Supine rest After head up tilt LF/HF = 1.06 LF/HF = 3.66
29 Physical exercise and HRV Spectral components do not estimate sympatho-vagal interactions during exercise (Perini & Veicsteinas, 2003). Left panels: Filled symbols: Sedentary subjects.

Effect of a stress-management program (SMP, n=26) versus sham program (SP=25) on HRV Lucini, Riva, Pizzinelli, Pagani (2007). Stress management at the worksite. Reversal of symptoms profile and cardiovascular dysregulation. Hypertension 49:
49 Summary Increase in LF and decreases HF consistently found in laboratory mental challenge experiments: mental arithmetics, color-word test, logical reasoning, drawing under time pressure etc. Work stress is associated with increase in sympathetic HRV measures, and decrease in parasympathetic measures. Autonomic changes caused by work stress are sustained during the non-workday (e.g., Vrijkotte et al. (2000), Collins et al. (2005)) or during the night of the workday (Mitani et al Int Arch Occup Environ Health 79: 27-32) Autonomic changes caused by work stress can be reversed by stress management (Lucini et al. (2007).
