Autonomic Nervous System Assessment– Wide Role of Heart Rate Variability Analysis– A Review

Gul Ar Navi Khan, Nazia Ishrat

Abstract :

Besides the various routinely performed tests for the evaluation of autonomic nervous system, the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) emerges as a newer and advance test. HRV is analyzed by time domain and frequency domain methods where mean and standard deviation of RR interval and power spectral density of RR series is taken into consideration respectively. Poincare plot is also reflects short and long term variability. This all methods helpful for evaluating the sympathetic and parasympathetic status and its interaction could be quantifiable. HRV act as a tool for understanding various physiological & clinical diseases which affects the normal rhythm of heart rate. It is cost effective, easy to test and it suggested HRV measurement is used for diagnostic and research purposes for the benefit of mankind.
