Abstract:
Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) suffer from various complications of diabetes mellitus, including autonomic neuropathy. Cardiac autonomic nervous system dysfunction is a common disorder in patients with diabetes mellitus and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), and is associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although the effects of exercise training have been thoroughly studied in different patient populations with CKD or diabetes mellitus, few studies have investigated the effects of exercise on cardiac autonomic nervous system activity in patients with DKD. This narrative review aims to summarize the evidence regarding the effects of exercise training on cardiac autonomic nervous system modulation in DKD patients.

The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
