Asha V. Thalange, Rohini R. Mergu . HRV Analysis of Arrhythmias Using Linear – Nonlinear Parameters. International Journal of Computer Applications. 1, 12 ( February 2010), 71-76. DOI=10.5120/255-412
Heart rate variability (HRV) refers to the beat-to-beat alterations in heart rate. HRV analysis is based on the concept that, fast fluctuations reflect the changes of sympathetic and vagal activity which results in variability of intervals between R waves i.e. "RR intervals". In the current work HRV was assessed by traditional linear time and frequency-domain indexes, in parallel with the non linear Poincare plot analysis.
