The autonomic nervous system may play an important role in regulating coronary arterial tone. To evaluate the role of autonomic nervous activity in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA), we studied 10 VSA patients with patent coronary artery (mean; 56 yr, range; 44-66 yr) and 8 normal subjects (mean; 58 yr, range; 35-71 yr). ECG and arterial pressure were continuously recorded for 4 min in a supine position at 7:30 am, 10:30 am, and 4:30 pm. Low-frequency (LF; 0.04-0.15 Hz) and high-frequency (HF; 0.20 Hz) components of the beat-to-beat variabilities of the R-R interval (RRI) and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) were then estimated by autoregressive power spectral analysis. The LF-Normalized Power (LF-NP; [LF Power]/[Total Power]-[Direct Current Power]) of both the RRI and SAP variabilities were greater in VSA patients than in normal subjects (RRI: 0.51 +/- 0.07, 0.51 +/- 0.07, 0.53 +/- 0.06, vs 0.25 +/- 0.04, 0.31 +/- 0.05, 0.31 +/- 0.06, at 7:30 am, 10:30 am, and 4:30 pm respectively: p = 0.010, 0.044, 0.018. SAP: 0.62 +/- 0.06, 0.53 +/- 0.06, 0.57 +/- 0.06 vs 0.37 +/- 0.04, 0.30 +/- 0.06, 0.26 +/- 0.07, respectively: p = 0.006, 0.017, 0.003.). The LF-power of SAP variability also tended to be greater in VSA patients. There was no difference in the HF-component coefficient of variance (CCV (%) = 100 x (component power) (1/2)/ mean RR intervals) of the RRI variabilities between the 2 groups. These results indicate that increased sympathetic vasomotor tone and cardiac sympathetic predominance may play an important role in patients with VSA.
