Abstract

The role of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and its organ-specific functions are largely elucidated. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis is a popular tool for the assessment of autonomic cardiac control. Heart rate and its changes are a sensitive indicator of ANS function, therefore cardiovascular autonomic regulation is considered to be the most reliable indicator of ANS activity and status. HRV refers to beat to beat variation in the heart rate that quantifies the interplay between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity of the ANS. Although patterns of HRV hold considerable promise for clarifying issues in clinical applications,
