Association between functional capacity and heart rate variability in patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS: Our investigation showed that both functional capacity and HRV were significantly impaired in uncomplicated diabetic patients. HbA1c, an important parameter of glucose regulation, was independently associated with HRV parameters and functional capacity in the whole study population. This reveals a potentially important role of determination of functional capacity and cardiac autonomic function as important markers of preclinical damage in diabetic population.
