On direct sequential analysis of heart rate variability signals

Abstract

Heart rate variability analysis represents one of the most promising and the most commonly used quantitative measures of the cardiovascular autonomic regulatory system. The analysis includes traditional statistical analytical tools and a number of new methods based on nonlinear system theory, recently developed to give better insight into complex HR. This paper introduces a direct sequential analysis. © 2005, Institute of Oncology Sremska Kamenica.
