Description
Summary:Because HRV is not presently being widely utilized in clinical practice, clinical interpretation and methods of measurement will be briefly described. [...]although more specific indices of HRV have been studied, SDNN appears to be the most consistent measure that independently predicts total mortality in CHF.4-8 There is an important limitation of the prognostic studies cited.
