Is abnormal adrenergic activation associated with abnormal Heart Rate Recovery?
Patients with high HF and WO showed an abnormal HRR compared with patients with normal WO. These findings suggest that adrenergic activation may influence the HRR.
In patients with inflammatory bowel disease there is an increased prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia, which can be corrected by the administration of folate, cobalamin and pyridoxine. The high prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia may account for the thrombotic risk of IBD patients; whether or not its correction will decrease the thrombotic risk should be tested in properly designed clinical trials.
