PG - 500-3 AB - We investigated the changes in cardiac autonomic nervous activities during long-term nonpulsatile left heart bypass (NLHB) by analyzing heart rate variability. A pulsatile ventricular assist device was installed in 3 goats, and pulsatile left heart bypass (PLHB) was conducted for 2 weeks. Then, NLHB was maintained for the following 4 weeks. The segmental data of the R-R intervals (R-Rs) was analyzed by maximum entropy spectral analysis. Changes in evaluated parameters from the last week of PLHB to the 4th week of NLHB were as follows: the mean R-Rs increased from 511 ms to 692 ms; the coefficient of variation of R-R increased from 10.2 to 14.1%; the power of the low frequency band (LF) increased from 747 ms2 to 2,855 ms2; the power of the high frequency band (HF) increased from 512 ms2 to 1,270 ms2; and the ratio of LF to HF increased from 2.6 to 6.5. These results indicated that the cardiac autonomic nervous activity, both sympathetic and parasympathetic, increased during long-term NLHB.
