Full title :Heart Rate Variability / by Gernot Ernst.

Summary

This book is an evaluation of heart rate variability (HRV), the tendency for the heart rate to oscillate, increasing and decreasing depending on a number of factors -- Font no determinada Such oscillations can give information on the state of the complex systems involved and can reveal a higher mortality risk -- Font no determinada The author discusses the basic functional structures responsible for HRV and the evidence for this -- Font no determinada In addition, the book provides a framework to understand HRV within the perspective of systems biology and presents basic principles and related mathematical models -- Font no determinada Heart Rate Variability provides a thorough investigation of the clinical aspects of the concept, defining the level of risk, the practical management algorithms and clarification of the common mechanisms, such as heart rate turbulence -- Font no determinada As such, this book will be of interest to all involved in the research and management of all the cardiovascular conditions related to this phenomenon -- Font no determinada.
