    The study analyzed heart rate variability (HRV) in 458 chronic kidney disease participants using wearable BioPatch devices.

  • 2

    Diabetes was linked to a 7.4 ms reduction in Standard Deviation of NN Intervals (SDNN) compared to non-diabetic participants.

  • 3

    Higher proteinuria levels were associated with a 5.73 ms decrease in SDNN, indicating a relationship between kidney function and HRV.

  • 4

    The study represents the largest dataset evaluating SDNN in chronic kidney disease using wearable EKG technology.

  • 5

    Findings suggest that specific clinical factors significantly influence HRV, providing a basis for future cardiovascular risk assessments.
