Journal ArticleDOI
Heart rate variability as early marker of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in septic patients.
Julio Pontet,Paola Contreras,Andrea Curbelo,Julio Medina,Sylvia Noveri,Solveig Bentancourt,Eduardo R. Migliaro +6 more
TL;DR: Reduction of HRV on ICU admission may be useful in identifying septic patients at risk for development of MODS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlations between frequency-domain HRV indices and lagged Poincaré plot width in healthy and diabetic subjects.
TL;DR: The comparative strength of the correlations between lagged Poincaré widths and spectral indices might be useful to distinguish normal from pathological HRV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetrical properties of heart rate variability in type 1 diabetes.
TL;DR: Heart rate variability related to heart rate decelerations and accelerations is reduced in patients with type 1 diabetes compared to healthy individuals both in resting 10-min and ambulatory 24-h ECGs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heart rate variability: short-term studies are as useful as holter to differentiate diabetic patients from healthy subjects.
TL;DR: This main goal was to determine if HRV indexes obtained from short‐term analyses were as useful as those from Holter monitoring for diagnosis of reduced HRV in diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic Filtering of R‐R Intervals for Heart Rate Variability Analysis
TL;DR: An algorithm is described that performs a correction based on the comparison of each interval with a normal standard in R‐R analysis for heart rate variability, where rhythm modificatipns other than those related to autonomic nervous system activity must be avoided.
