ECG parameters were then calculated for each valid beat in the sweep and the median was taken for the sweep. HR was calculated directly from the inverse of the RR interval for each sweep. Importantly, there was no day/night bias to the number of sweeps failing quality control, and adjustment of the quality control parameters had little impact on the overall results. Human ECG data were subsequently binned into 5-min bins for longitudinal analysis. In study 1, QT was not measured for four individuals (two in the control group, two in shift-work group) as the end of the T wave could not be reliably determined. Wehrens, S. M. T., Hampton, S.

All ECG analysis was done using bespoke ECG analysis software written in MATLAB (R2018a; Mathworks, USA) 11. Briefly, sweeps of 10,000 data points were taken, corresponding to 10 s in mice and ~39/~78 s in humans (analyzed at 256/128 Hz), and R waves detected by amplitude thresholding and subsequent template matching to the mean beat waveform of that sweep. Any waveforms that differed significantly from that template were removed. Individual recording sweeps were excluded from subsequent analysis where the mean amplitude of discriminated beat waveforms was <3 times the lower limit of the amplitude window, where baseline variation in the ECG trace exceeds 1/3 of that lower limit and/or where >20% of the events detected were excluded by the template matching algorithm.

Professor Madeddu added: “Our findings confirm the healthy mutant gene can reverse the decline of heart performance in older people. We are now interested in determining if giving the protein instead of the gene can also work. Gene therapy is widely used to treat diseases caused by bad genes. However, a treatment based on a protein is safer and more viable than gene therapy.”

Thus, two independent human studies clearly reveal circadian rhythmicity in chronotropic and dromotropic properties of the heart. However, these inputs are not equal at the SA and AV nodes. Moreover, while the SA node is also heavily influenced by acute alterations in behavior, the AV node is robust against such changes. Differential circadian characteristics of SA and AV node activity are consistent between mice and humans

Experimental design and n number determination were based on appropriate power analysis and previous experience. All ECG data were processed in MATLAB (R2018a; Mathworks, USA) using custom-written algorithms as described below. In both human studies, data were z-scored across the full laboratory session for each individual for analysis to normalize inter-individual variability. For mouse studies, data were z-scored across the whole analysis window (5 days for most analyses, ~9 days for phase shift experiments). Phase delays between RR and other ECG parameters were calculated by comparing the mean of a Gaussian fit to the cross correlogram in each individual to 0 using a one-sample T test. To calculate the dependency of ECG parameters on HR, change in z-scored RR between sequential 5 min ECG analysis windows were determined and segregated into bins reflecting response magnitude (width 0.25 SD in humans, 0.5 SD in mice). Corresponding changes in QT and PR seg were averaged and plotted against ΔRR interval. To determine the effects of locomotor activity on ECG parameters a circadian profile of each parameter at rest was calculated for each animal by fitting a 24-h constrained sine wave to all data points in which the animal had not been active in the preceding 30 min over 5 days of normal recording. Periods in which bouts of locomotor activity were followed by 45 min of inactivity were then isolated and normalized to the appropriate circadian phase based on the at-rest curve fit. The transient activity was identified as an activity bout preceded by >5 min of inactivity and followed by >20 min of inactivity. Data were normalized to the preceding 5 min of inactivity. RR interval distribution heatmaps were calculated by binning RR intervals of mice across 5 days of ECG recording into square bins of size 15 min × ~1.5 ms. Data were converted to a probability of an RR interval falling into any given bin within each 15 min window. Heatmaps were then filtered using a 5 SD Gaussian window with circular padding.

According to the researchers, the abrupt change to the ‘sleep-wake cycle’ has been linked to inflammation and imbalances in the nervous system.
