PS157 The Relationship Between Heart Rate Recovery and the Levels of Catestatin After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Autonomic nervous dysfunctions are closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Heart rate recovery after exercise (HRR)is a common clinical evaluated index of autonomic nervous function, which reflects autonomic balance under treadmill exercise. Our preliminary study showed that plasma levels of catestatin (CST) were increased gradually, and inversely associated with norepinephrine during the early phase of AMI, which indicated that CST might play an important role in regulation of autonomic nervous system after AMI.
