Meta-analysis on inflammation and autonomic nervous system of coronary heart disease combined with depression by Lijun Zhang, Guo Li, Meiyan Liu

“…There were 22 articles left after selection, including 6344 participants. This meta-analysis indicated that patients with CHD with depression had higher levels of C reaction protein (CRP) (SMD 0.50, 95% CI (0.19 to 0.81), p=0.001), high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) (SMD 0.28, 95% CI (0.07 to 0.48), p=0.008), IL-6 (SMD 0.49, 95% CI (0.05 to 0.92), p=0.03) and a lower level of the mean RR interval and the SD of all RR intervals (SMD −0.64, 95% CI (−1.11 to –0.17), p=0.008), SD of the 5 min averages of all normal RR intervals (MD −12.77 ms, 95% CI (–21.20 to –4.33), p=0.003), overage of the SD of all normal RR intervals for each 5 min segment (MD −13.83 ms, 95% CI (–15.94 to –11.72), p<0.00001), root mean square of successive differences (MD: −8.02 ms, 95% CI (–13.62 to –2.43), p=0.005), proportion of adjacent cycles differing by >50 ms (pNN50) (SMD −0.86, 95% CI (−1.41 to –0.31), p=0.002), than those without depression.Conclusions This study underscores the association between elevated CRP, hs-CRP, IL-6 and lower HRV in patients with CHD with depression. …”
