Autonomia Nervous System i Heart Rate Variability
Heart rate variability (HRV) has emerged as te most practical, non-invasive clinical index cardiac autonomic function. HRV metriures the beat- to-beat variation in heart rate, which is dominuje mediate by parasympathetic (vagal) input to the sinoatrial node.
