Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To analyze autonomic functioning which presented as the high frequency (HF) component of heart rate variability, a measurement of vagal tone, and the ratio of low frequency (LF) to HF (LF : HF), an indicator of sympathovagal balance in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients. METHODS: We identified relevant studies by performing a literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and the ISI Web of Knowledge to 31 March 2013. Pooled effect sizes with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random effects model. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed using the Q test and I(2) statistic. RESULTS: In all, 11 articles including 392 IBS patients and 263 controls met the inclusion criteria of the analysis. IBS patients had lower HF band power (Hedges's g = -0.38, 95% CI -0.68 to -0.09) than the controls (I(2) = 63.6%, P = 0.003). Moreover, IBS patients showed a higher LF : HF (Hedges's g = 0.43, 95% CI 0.13-0.74), with no significant heterogeneity. A subgroup analysis of the HF index according to the recording time yielded different results for the IBS patients and controls. Additionally, constipation-predominant IBS (IBS-C) patients had decreased HF band power, whereas no significant difference was found in LF : HF. CONCLUSIONS: Impaired parasympathetic functioning and abnormal sympathovagal balance may be involved in the pathogenesis of IBS. Vagal dysfunction is more obvious in the IBS-C subgroup.
