NeuECG recordings from subject 12 of Protocol 1. Figure 1C and 1D show effects of VM on SKNA. Figure 1B shows basal state nerve discharges. Figure 1A shows that spontaneous bursts of nerve activity were associated with elevated heart rate. Table 1 shows that the average SKNA measured in leads tested in ≥ 4 subjects (leads V1–V6 and 2 bipolar leads) significantly increased during the CPT and VM, and then reduced significantly during recovery.įigure 1 shows the tracing of a subject at baseline (Panels A and B) and during the VM (Panels C and D). In the two subjects in whom the impedance was recorded, the average impedance for each individual electrode was 37☘ kΩ (range: 28–52 kΩ). Average HR increased from 67☖ to 85☒5 and returned to 65±5 bpm in recovery (p=0.025). During the VM, the average mean arterial pressure increased from 93☗ to 101☑2 and returned to 88☘ mmHg in recovery (p=0.001). Average HR increased from 66±5 to 78☑7 and returned to 61☗ beats per minute (bpm) in recovery (p=0.023). The data were analyzed to determine if SKNA can be used to non-invasively estimate sympathetic tone in humans.ĭuring the CPT, the average mean arterial pressure increased from 87☗ to 105☘ and returned to 85☑3 mmHg in recovery (p<0.001). The fourth protocol was used to further confirm the validity of SKNA in estimating SGNA by determining if stellate ganglion blockade can reduce or eliminate the SKNA. A third protocol focused on inpatients with ventricular arrhythmias to demonstrate the association between SKNA and the onset of ventricular arrhythmias. The data were used to determine if SKNA correlates with HR acceleration and QT interval shortening. A second protocol was aimed to perform long term continuous neuECG recording from patients without known heart diseases. We first tested in a group of normal healthy volunteers if maneuvers known to increase sympathetic tone can increase SKNA. To test this hypothesis, we recorded neuECG from 4 different groups of patients. 6– 8 Based on the results of those studies, we hypothesize that it is feasible to simultaneously record SKNA and ECG (neuECG) in humans, and that SKNA is useful in estimating the sympathetic tone. These findings indicate that SKNA can be used to estimate SGNA in ambulatory dogs. Furthermore, we showed that the morphology and the magnitude SKNA correlated with SGNA and both nerve activities correlated with heart rate (HR) acceleration and preceded the onset of ventricular arrhythmias. Consistent with the latter hypothesis, our recent canine studies showed that SKNA can be recorded from the thorax by filtering the electrogram with high pass filter setting of 150 Hz.

4, 5 Therefore, it is reasonable to hypothesize that skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) of the thorax or upper limbs can be used to estimate stellate ganglion nerve activity (SGNA). 2, 3 The skin nerves in the upper extremities and thorax originate in the cervical and stellate ganglia.

The skin is well innervated by sympathetic nerve fibers.

1 Higher frequency signals are assumed to be noise and eliminated. The standard low pass filter setting of the surface ECG is 150 Hz for adolescents and adults, and 250 Hz for children.
