Abstract
Autonomic neuropathy was previously thought to be a late complication, because it was detected in patients with diabetes of long duration. As newer techniques to test autonomic function developed, however, it became clear that autonomic nervous dysfunction is present much earlier in the course of diabetes. Hence, the aim of this work was to study HRV in type I diabetic patients for early detection of cardiac autonomic dysfunction. In the present study, 24 hr Holter monitoring for heart rate variability was assessed in 25 diabetic children and adolescent, 10 males and 15 females with an average age of 14.28+4.37 yrs. Twenty age and sex matched apparently healthy, non diabetic children were used as a control group.
