More About: Heart Rate Variability Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of variations in the heart rate. It is usually calculated by analysing the time series of beat-to-beat intervals from ECG or arterial pressure tracings. ("HRV HRV Croatia (ISO Country code) HRV Heart Rate Variability HRV Human Rhinovirus HRV Heat Recovery Ventilator HRV High Resolution Visible HRV Haute Resolution Visible HRV Hypersonic Research Vehicle HRV Hercules Recovery Vehicle ") HRV measures the variation in the length of the intervals, measured in milliseconds between heart beats. Studies have shown that low HRV is a valuable indicator or predictor of illness and mortality, especially sudden cardiac death Sudden Cardiac Death Definition Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an unexpected death due to heart problems, which occurs within one hour from the start of any cardiac-related symptoms. SCD is sometimes called cardiac arrest. . Other chronic conditions associated with low HRV can include: depression, anxiety, coronary artery disease coronary artery disease, condition that results when the coronary arteries are narrowed or occluded, most commonly by atherosclerotic deposits of fibrous and fatty tissue. , congestive heart failure congestive heart failure, inability of the heart to expel sufficient blood to keep pace with the metabolic demands of the body. In the healthy individual the heart can tolerate large increases of workload for a considerable length of time. , hypertension, and diabetes.
