Description In this study we tested whether joint evaluation of the frequency (fcs) at which maxima of power in the cross-spectra between the variability in systolic blood pressure and inter-beat intervals in the range of 0.06-0.12 Hz occur together with the quantification of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) may improve early detection of autonomic dysfunction in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We measured 14 T1DM patients (age 20.3-24.2 years, DM duration 10.4-14.2 years, without any signs of autonomic neuropathy) and 14 age-matched controls (Co). Finger arterial blood pressure was continuously recorded by Finapres for one hour. BRS and fcs were determined by the spectral method. Receiver-operating curves (ROC) were calculated for fcs, BRS, and a combination of both factors determined as F(z)=1/(1+exp(-z)), z=3.09–0.013*BRS– 0.027*fcs. T1DM had significantly lower fcs than Co (T1DM: 88.8plusminus 6.7 vs. Co: 93.7plusminus 3.8 mHz; p<0.05), and a tendency towards lower BRS compared to Co (T1DM: 10.3 plusminus 4.4 vs. Co: 14.6plusminus 7.1 ms/mm Hg; p=0.06). The ROC for Fz showed the highest sensitivity and specificity (71.4 % and 71.4 %) in comparison with BRS (64.3 % and 71.4 %) or fcs (64.3 % and 64.3 %). The presented method of evaluation of BRS and fcs forming an integrated factor Fz could provide further improvement in the risk stratification of diabetic patients.
