Influence of the hydration on autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory parameters of coronary heart disease patients submitted to a cardiovascular rehabilitation session: crossover clinical trial protocol

Abstract

Aims:

The influence of fluid replacement, realized during and after the exercise on individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains poorly understood. To investigate the influence of hydration on cardiac autonomic modulation, cardiorespiratory parameters and perceived exertion and discommodity, of coronary heart patients submitted to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) session.

Methods:

This cross-over clinical trial, will recruit 31 adults with more than 45 years old, participants of a cardiovascular rehabilitation program, with CAD diagnosis. The participants will be submitted to an experimental protocol composed of three phases: I) Maximal stress test; II) Control protocol (CP); and III) Hydration protocol (HP). The CP and HP will consist of 10 min of rest in a supine position, 15 min of warming, 40 min of treadmill exercise, 5 min of cooling down and 60 min of rest in a supine position. In the HP, the participants will be hydrated with mineral water, based on the bodyweight reduction of the CP. The water intake will be divided into eight equal portions, offered during the treadmill exercise and recovery period. On CP and HP will be evaluated linear and nonlinear indices of heart rate variability, the heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen partial saturation, perceived exertion and discommodity on specifics moments.

Conclusion:

The results of this study will allow us to identify if the proposed protocol will be able to positively influence the outcomes and, consequently, if could be implement in the clinical practice.

However, during the physical exercise realization, the body temperature is high and, consequently, an increase in the transpiration rate occurs, which can promote liquid loss and if the answer is not correctly can promote a dehydrate state1212.

In this sense, we understand how much relevant is to submit individuals with coronary artery disease to a hydration protocol associate to a conventional model of rehabilitation session, to determine if the model of the proposed exercise can promote liquid loss, if this loss can influence the cardiovascular and autonomic parameters of individuals with coronary artery disease, and if the hydration is also a protector factor of the cardiovascular and autonomic system, how was observed in healthy individuals1313. Gonzalez-Alonso J, Mora-Rodríguez R, Below PR, Coyle EF. Dehydration reduces cardiac output and increases systemic and cutaneous vascular resistance during exercise. J Appl Physiol. 1995;79(5):1487-96.,2121. Moreno IL, Vanderlei LCM, Pastre CM, Vanderlei FM, De Abreu LC, Ferreira C. Cardiorespiratory effects of water ingestion during and after exercise.

J Appl Physiol. 1991;71(3):871-7.. Furthermore, we could evaluate if the hydration influences cardiorespiratory parameters and the subjective perceived exertion/pain as well as if we could use these findings as predictor factors during the clinical practice.

Therefore, the objective of this study aimed to investigate the influence of the hydration on cardiac autonomic modulation, through heart rate variability (linear and nonlinear indices), cardiorespiratory parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen partial saturation, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure), subjective perceived exertion and subjective perceived pain, of coronary artery disease patients submitted to a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. The hypothesis is that these individuals will be beneficiated by restoring the liquid, improving the autonomic answer, cardiorespiratory parameters, and subjective perceived exertion and pain during the exercise and recovery time.

The magnitude of the significant difference assumed was 12 ms, considering a standard deviation of 16 ms1515. Moreno IL, Pastre CM, Ferreira C, de Abreu LC, Valenti VE, Vanderlei LCM. Effects of an isotonic beverage on autonomic regulation during and after exercise. J Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2013;10(2):1-10., with an alpha risk of 5% and a beta of 80%, the sample size resulted in 28 participants. Considering possible sample losses will be increased by 10% of de sample size calculated, totalizing 31 participants.

Ethic aspects

The participants will be informed about the procedures and the aims of this study and after agreeing to participate, signed a written informed consent form. This study was approved by the Committee for Ethics and Research of the Faculty of Science and Technology FCT/UNESP (CAAE: 54864716.8.0000.5402) and followed the Helsinki declaration.

Design of the experimental approach

The participants will be submitted individually to an experimental procedure realized on a treadmill, with a minimum of 48 hours of interval, to permit their recovery. The experimental procedure will be divided into three following phases, with a duration of one day each (Figure 1):

  1. Maximum stress test: will be performed to determine the peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak), to define the used load in the following phases:

  2. Control protocol (CP): the participants will remain 10 minutes at rest position followed by 15 minutes of warming, with activities involving stretching and global exercises, 40 minutes of physical exercise in a treadmill, 5 minutes of cooling down and 60 minutes of recovery. In this phase, the participants will not be hydrated.

  3. Hydration protocol (HP): the participants will perform the equal CP activities, but with the administration of mineral water (Bonafont, Brazil) that will be divided into 8 portions uniformly, administered for 10 minutes in regular intervals from the 10th minute of the exercise until the lasts 25 minutes of the recovery period.

Protocol design.

Previous orientation to the experimental procedure

Aiming for the reliability of the results, the participants will receive orientations to comply with the experimental procedure phase, as state below:

  • Not to ingest caffeine-based drinks (coffee, chocolate, soda and tea) for 24 hours prior to all study phases;

  • Consume light meal for two hours prior all the study protocol;

  • Wear comfortable clothes appropriate for exertion, such as shorts, shirt, shoes, and socks;

  • To maintain their habitual physical activities during the protocol development, but to avoid vigorous physical exertion the day before;

  • To intake 500 mL of water two hours before the beginning of the phases II (CP) and III (HP)3030. Godoy MF, Takakura IT, Correa PR. The relevance of nonlinear dynamic analysis (Chaos Theory) to predict morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization. Arq em Ciência da Saúde. 2005;12(4):167-71., to guarantee the basal hydration condition of all participants.

Details of the experimental procedure

The details of the experimental procedure are described below and the Figure 2 illustrates the protocols activities.

Figure 2
Graph abstract of the experimental procedure.

Phase I: Maximum stress test

For definition of the exercise load used in the protocols, the participants will perform in a treadmill (Super ATL, Inbrasport, Brazil) a maximum stress test, in accordance with the maximal Bruce protocol3131. Meneghelo RS. III Guidelines of Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia on the exercise test. Arq Bras Cardiol. 2010;95(5 Suppl 1):1-26. on Laboratório de Fisiologia Celular do Exercício (LaFICE) at Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia - UNESP/PP.

The participants will remain at rest on the treadmill in orthostatic position to stabilization of the initial values and after that, will begin the maximum stress test, with 5 minutes of warming and 2.5 km/h of speed, followed by the maximal Bruce protocol, that consist in progressive incremental of load through the tilt and speed on every three minutes. Verbal encouragement will be used to achieve the maximum physical exertion, with the test being interrupted by the participant exhaustion or when the maximum stress test was achieved3131. Meneghelo RS. III Guidelines of Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia on the exercise test. Arq Bras Cardiol. 2010;95(5 Suppl 1):1-26.. All participants will be continuously monitored during the rest and the exercise until exhaustion, and for 5 min of recovery through an electrocardiogram. Aiming the safety of the participants, all the procedures related to the incremental test will be supervised by a Cardiologist with expertise in maximum stress test.

To determine the oxygen consumption (VO2peak), exhaled gases will be analyzed using a commercial system Quark PFT, (Cosmed, Rome, Italy), calibrated with volumes and gases of known concentration. The VO2peak will be considered the highest VO2 reached in the test. The used load in the CP and HP will be 60% to 80% of the maximum heart rate (HR) reached at the anaerobic threshold (AT) of the test. For individuals that do not reach the AT during the test, the used load will be 60% to 80% of the HR value reached in VO2peak. For the determination of HR, the participant will wear a HR monitor (RS800CX, Polar Electro Oy, Finland) and the beat-to-beat will be recorded3232. Task force of the European society of cardiology of the north American society of pacing electrophysiology. Heart rate variability standards of measurement, physiological interpretation and clinical use. Eur Heart J. 1996;17:354-81. and subsequently, the values obtained will be extracted.

Phases II and III: Control and hydration protocol

The protocols will be realized on CEAFiR of Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia - UNESP, between 01h30 a.m to 6h00 p.m. to avoid circadian variations. Temperature (temperature between 22 °C to 25 °C) and the humidity (humidity between 40 to 60%) will be controlled. To reduce the anxiety of the participants during the tests, a small number of people will stay on the data collection locally. During this phase, researchers with expertise in the ambulatory phase of cardiovascular physical therapy will supervise all the procedures of the study.

Initially, in both protocols, the participants will be oriented to collect a urine sample despising the first jet to analyze the degree of hydration of the participants. In the hydration condition, it will be verified: bodyweight, though a digital scale (Plenna, TIN 00139 MAXIMA, Brazil) and height, though a stenographer (ES 2020 - Sanny, Brazil).

Before the beginning of the protocols (CP and HP) will be placed on the participants a HR monitor (RS800CX, Polar Electro Oy, Finland) to record the heart rate beat-to-beat during the protocols and the participants will remain lying comfortably for 10 minutes. At the final of 10 minutes of rest, the axillar temperature will be measured through a Thermometer (BD Thermofácil, China). The cardiorespiratory parameters Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), respiratory rate (f), Oxygen partial saturation (SpO2), Subjective perceived exertion (SPE) and subjective perceived pain (SPP) will be also measured at this moment.

After these measures, the participants will realize 15 minutes of warming, with activities involving stretching and global exercise, 40 minutes of treadmill (intensity of 60% to 80% to VO2peak or AT) and 5 minutes of cooling down with a half of load used on the previous exercise. During the exercise period on a treadmill, new measurements of the parameters: HR, SBP, DBP, SpO2, SPE, SPP in minutes 15 and 35 will be realized.

At the end of the activity (rest + warming + treadmill exercise + cooling down), on the 70th minute, the axillar temperature of the individuals will be measured again with than at rest, lied in a calm environment and monitored for further 60 minutes. During this period, it will be analyzed the HR, SBP, DBP, SpO2, SPE, SPP parameters on 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th and every 10 minutes from this, until the end of the recovery.

The RR intervals will be analyzed on the following moments: M1 (lasts 5 minutes of the rest), M2 (15th to 20th minutes of the exercise), M3 (35th to 40th minutes of the exercise), M4 (0 to 5th minutes of the recovery), M5 (5th to 10th minutes of the recovery), M6 (15th to 20th minutes of the recovery), M7 (25th to 30th minutes of the recovery), M8 (40th to 45th minutes of the recovery) and M9 (55th to 60th minutes of the recovery). For the evaluation of the autonomic modulation will be obtained in this section at least 256 RR consecutive intervals3232. Task force of the European society of cardiology of the north American society of pacing electrophysiology. Heart rate variability standards of measurement, physiological interpretation and clinical use. Eur Heart J. 1996;17:354-81..

In both protocols, after the recovery period, the participants will be oriented to collect a urine sample again in order to analyze its composition and after this, the final body weight measurement will be performed.

Hydration strategy

The amount of drink administered during the treadmill physical exercise and HP recovery, will be obtained through the body mass loss, evaluated thought the body mass difference verified before of the CP begins and after their recovery period. The body mass will be measured thought a digital scale (Plenna -TIN 00139 MAXIMA, Brazil). The use of this technic implies that one gram of body mass loss is equivalent to one milliliter of liquid loss3333. Armstrong L. Hydration assessment techniques. Nutr Rev. 2005;63(6 Pt 2):S40-54.,3434. Von Duvillard SP, Braun WA, Markofski M, Beneke R, Leithäuser R. Fluids and hydration in prolonged endurance performance. Nutrition. 2004;20(7-8):651-6.. Thus, the body mass loss of each participant indicates the amount that will be administered during the treadmill physical exercise and the HP recovery period.

For the participants hydration, it will be used mineral water without gas (Bonafont, Brazil). The strategy adopted on this protocol will be realized, based on previous studies of the group2020. Vanderlei FM, Moreno IL, Vanderlei LC, Pastre CM, de Abreu LC, Ferreira C. Comparison of the effect of hydration with water or isotonic solution on the recovery of cardiac autonomic modulation. Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab. 2015;25:145-53.,2121. Moreno IL, Vanderlei LCM, Pastre CM, Vanderlei FM, De Abreu LC, Ferreira C. Cardiorespiratory effects of water ingestion during and after exercise. Int Arch Med. 2013;6(1):1-9., which will be done in intervals of 10 minutes from the 10th minute of the treadmill physical exercise until the lasts 25 minutes of the recovery period. Therefore, the total amount of ingested will be divided into 8 equal portions.

Furthermore, the hydration dynamic condition before and after the CP and HP performed will be verified through the urine analysis (Combur 10 M teste, Roche®, Brazil) and the specific density will be used as a marker of the hydration degree3333. Armstrong L. Hydration assessment techniques. Nutr Rev. 2005;63(6 Pt 2):S40-54.. For the performed of this procedure, the participants will be instructed to collect their urine previously to CP and HP and after the recovery period, despising the first jet. The participants that have a specific density under of 1.020 will be considered hydrated and those with specific density above, dehydrated3535.

Assessed outcomes

  1. Primary outcome

    • Heart rate variability: The heart rate variability (HRV) analysis will be realized from the recorded data through a HR monitor Polar RS800CX (Polar Electro, Kempele, Finland)3636. Barbosa MP da C de R, Silva NT da, Azevedo FM de, Pastre CM, Vanderlei LCM. Comparison of Polar RS800G3 TM heart rate monitor with Polar fi S810i TM and electrocardiogram to obtain the series of RR intervals and analysis of heart rate variability at rest. Clin Physiol Funct Imaging. 2016;36:112-7. through linear methods, that will be analyzed on time(SDNN and RMSSD), frequency domain (LF, HF and LF/HF), geometric indices (SD1, SD2 and SD1/SD2) and nonlinear methods (Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), recurrence rate (REC), determinism (DET) and approximated entropy (ApEn)3232.

Recurrence plots for the analysis of complex systems. Phys Rep. 2007;438:237-329..

      The HRV indices will be obtained from the Kubios HRV software - 2.0 version4040. Tarvainen MP, Niskanen JP, Lipponen JA, Ranta-aho PO, Karjalainen PA. Kubios HRV - Heart rate variability analysis software. Comput Methods Programs Biomed. 2014;113(1):210-20., except DFA indices that will be calculated by an available software on PhysioNet (http://www.physionet.org/), an online forum that collects biomedical and signal records and software to analyze this signals4141. Goldberger AL, Amaral LAN, Glass L, Hausdorff JM, Ivanov PC, Mark RG, et al. PhysioBank, PhysioToolkit, and PhysioNet components of a new research resource for complex physiologic signals. Circulation. 2000;101:e215-20.. For this analyze, temporal series of RR intervals will be initially submitted to digital filtering from the Polar Pro Trainer software (5.0 version) complemented by manual, for the elimination of the ectopic, premature and artefacts beats, and just series with more than 95% of the sinus beat will be included in the study 3030. Godoy MF, Takakura IT, Correa PR. The relevance of nonlinear dynamic analysis (Chaos Theory) to predict morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization. Arq em Ciência da Saúde. 2005;12(4):167-71.. From the visual analysis of the temporal series will be observed the absence of the artifacts or cardiac arrhythmias that would influence on HRV analyze.

  2. Secondary outcomes

    • Blood pressure: The SBP and DBP parameters will be measured, using a stethoscope (Littmann, Saint Paul, USA) and aneroid sphygmomanometer (Welch Allyn - Tycos, New York, USA), according to the VI Brazilian Hypertension Guidelines4242. Nobre F. VI Brazilian Guidelines for Hypertension. Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia. 2010;95(1):1-51.. The values will be registered in individual file. To avoid errors in blood pressure determination, a trained profissional will measure this parameter during all the experimental.

    • Heart rate: The HR will be recorded beat-to-beat through a HR monitor Polar RS800CX (Polar Electro, Kempele, Finland), previously validated equipment to capture this parameter3636. Barbosa MP da C de R, Silva NT da, Azevedo FM de, Pastre CM, Vanderlei LCM. Comparison of Polar RS800G3 TM heart rate monitor with Polar fi S810i TM and electrocardiogram to obtain the series of RR intervals and analysis of heart rate variability at rest. Clin Physiol Funct Imaging. 2016;36:112-7..

    • Respiratory rate: The measures will be realized through the respiratory score during one minute, without the volunteer knowledge, to maintain the usual respiration4343. Irwin S, Tecklin J. Fisioterapia cardiopulmonar. 2003. 348-349 p..

    • Partial oxygen saturation: The SpO2 will be verify through a pulse oximeter (Mindray PM-50 Pulse Oximeter, China).

    • Subjective perceive exertion: The subjective perceive exertion (SPE or RPE) will be obtained using a Borg scale4444. Borg GA V. Psychophysical bases of perceived exertion. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 1982;15(5):377-81.. The scale will be presented to the participants at a form that they can express the degree of exertion feeling.

    • Subjective perceive pain: At the reason of the studied population, will be also evaluated the subjective perceive pain through the Borg CR10 scale4444. Borg GA V. Psychophysical bases of perceived exertion. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 1982;15(5):377-81., with the objective to evaluate the discommodity degree perceived to the participants during the protocol phases. The Scale comprises 10 points, varying of 0 (absolutely nothing/ without pain) to 10 (extremely strong/ maximum pain). The participants will be questioned if present some discommodity and in affirmative cases the scale will be presented at a form that they can indicate the score of the discommodity felling.

Blinding, randomization, and allocation

The draw of the study did not permit the randomization of the groups and consequently the secret allocation since for this execution the participants mandatorily will need to follow the sequence of the study pre-determined (Phase I → Phase II → Phase III). The first phase is necessary for the definition of the exercise load used in the protocols and only after this phase, the protocol will be applied. The randomization of the other protocols does not allow because the amount of the drink administered during the HP (phase III), that will be obtained through the body mass loss, as described previously.

The blinding (AKFS and LCMV) will be possible to the extraction of the primary outcome data (HRV), HR (secondary outcome) and to statistical analysis, where the researcher will have the assess to the data. To the others secondary variables, it will be not possible the blinding because of the logistic adopted at the study.

Data analyses

Descriptive statistics will be used to describe the population profile and the results will be presented as mean, median, standard deviation, minimum and maximum, and confidence interval values. The data files will be examined regularly to ensure their integrity and participants will receive an ID to preserve the confidentiality of the data. The normality of the data will be determined by Shapiro-Wilk test. For the variables weight and body temperature, the comparison of the moments of the same protocol will be realized by paired Student's t-test for normal distribution of data or Wilcoxon test for non-normal distribution of data. For the analyze between the protocols unpaired Student's t-test will be used for normal distribution data or Mann-Whitney test for non-normal data. The comparison of the cardiorespiratory parameters, perceived exertion and pain, and HRV indices between the protocols (CP vs HP) and moments (rest vs exercise and rest times vs recovery times) will be made by two-way repeated measures ANOVA. The repeated-measures data will be checked for sphericity violation using Mauchly's test and the Greenhouse-Geisser correction will be conducted when sphericity is violated. For analyzing of the moments (rest vs exercise and rest times vs recovery times) will be applied ANOVA for repeated measurements followed by the Bonferroni post-test for parametric distribution or the Dunnet post-test for non-parametric distribution. The analysis of the different moments between the groups will be made by non-paired Student's t-test for normal distribution data or Mann-Whitney test for non-normal data. The analyses will be performed using the commercial Minitab software - 13.20 version (Minitab, PA., USA) and GraphPad Instat -3.01 version, 1998 (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego California USA). P < 0.05 will be accepted as statistically significant.

Conclusion

This protocol design would allow to answer important questions and will open new perspectives helping both clinicians and researchers. If the results showed unfavorable impact on autonomic behavior and cardiorespiratory parameters, and that the liquid reposition attenuates this impact, these findings will add an important contribution to cardiovascular rehabilitation program66.
