Automatic analysis of heart rate variation: I. Method and reference values in healthy controls.

摘要: Many patients referred to an electrophysiological laboratory may have autonomic dysfunction. Some parasympathetic tests are based on the assessment of heart rate variation induced by breathing, Valsalva maneuver, and standing. We developed fast practical computer-based methods analyze using standard EMG equipment a personal computer. For quantitative description we evaluated different algorithms, both earlier described new ones. Findings in with diabetes been compared those obtained from healthy subjects order determine diagnostic utility various algorithms. The optimal algorithm has chosen this other criteria, reference database developed.
