Abstract

Conclusions: HRV has considerable potential to assess the role of autonomic nervous system fluctuations in normal healthy individuals and in patients with various cardiovascular and noncardiovascular disorders. HRV studies should enhance our understanding of physiological phenomena, the actions of medications, and disease mechanisms. Large prospective longitudinal studies are needed to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of HRV in the identification of individuals at risk for subsequent morbid and mortal events.
