Insights
This systematic review evaluates heart rate variability biofeedback for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. It aims to determine if this intervention improves outcomes for individuals with this serious heart condition.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Clinical Medicine
- Biofeedback Research
Background:
- Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of global mortality.
- Autonomic imbalance following ACS impacts cardiovascular function.
- Investigating interventions to improve ACS prognosis is critical.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and meta-analyze the efficacy of heart rate variability biofeedback.
- To assess the impact of heart rate variability biofeedback on prognosis in ACS patients.
Main Methods:
- Protocol registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022379184).
- Searched multiple international and Chinese databases up to December 2022.
- Risk of bias assessed using Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool; data synthesis via RevMan 5.3.
Main Results:
- Systematic review and meta-analysis protocol designed.
- Data collection from inception to December 2022 across specified databases.
- Results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Conclusions:
- This review will offer high-quality evidence on heart rate variability biofeedback efficacy.
- Findings will inform clinical practice for managing patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Background:
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the acute manifestation of ischemic heart disease, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Soon after ACS, autonomic imbalance acts to preserve the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system and consequently of the whole body. In this study, we perform a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of heart rate variability biofeedback in improving the prognosis in patients with ACS.
Methods:
The protocol of this review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022379184). Meanwhile, it will be reported follow the guidelines of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses protocol. We will search 3 foreign electronic databases (Cochrane Library, Embase, Pubmed) and 4 Chinese electronic databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WangFang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and Chinese Scientific Journal Database) to collect potential studies from their inceptions to December 2022. Risk of bias will be assessed according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Data synthesis and statistical analysis will be performed using the RevMan 5.3 (The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, Denmark) software.
Results:
The results of this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Conclusion:
This systematic review will provide high quality evidence to assess the efficacy of heart rate variability biofeedback in patients with ACS.
