Abstract

Method for spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), and physiological characteristics of their spectral components are discussed. Respiratory component has a liner relationship with cardiac parasympathetic activity. Other component ranging around 0.1Hz is related to Mayer wave of arterial blood pressure. They provide a quantitative index of autonomic nervous function.
