TLDR
Age and heart rate were the major determinants of all three selected heart rate variability measures (partial R2 values 0.125 to 0.389), and Normative reference values for all eight heart rates variability measures are presented.

The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

TL;DR: The results suggest that individuals with Leu33Pro polymorphism of the GPIIIa glycoprotein may be predisposed to increased risk of atherosclerotic plaque rupture.

Adverse cardiovascular effects of air pollution

TL;DR: An increased understanding of the mediators and mechanisms of these processes is necessary if the authors are to develop strategies to protect individuals at risk and reduce the effect of air pollution on cardiovascular disease.

Heart rate variability: a noninvasive electrocardiographic method to measure the autonomic nervous system.

Juan Sztajzel
- 04 Sep 2004 - 
TL;DR: The mechanism, the parameters and the use of HRV as a marker reflecting the activity of the sympathetic and vagal components of the ANS on the sinus node are reviewed, and as a clinical tool for screening and identifying patients particularly at risk for cardiac mortality are reviewed.

Applied Regression Analysis and Other Multivariable Methods

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare two straight line regression models and conclude that the Straight Line Regression Equation does not measure the strength of the Straight-line Relationship, but instead is a measure of the relationship between two straight lines.

Power spectrum analysis of heart rate fluctuation: a quantitative probe of beat-to-beat cardiovascular control

TL;DR: It is shown that sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activity make frequency-specific contributions to the heart rate power spectrum, and that renin-angiotensin system activity strongly modulates the amplitude of the spectral peak located at 0.04 hertz.

Decreased heart rate variability and its association with increased mortality after acute myocardial infarction

TL;DR: HR variability remained a significant predictor of mortality after adjusting for clinical, demographic, other Holter features and ejection fraction, and a hypothesis to explain this finding is that decreased HR variability correlates with increased sympathetic or decreased vagal tone, which may predispose to ventricular fibrillation.

Assessment of autonomic function in human by heart rate spectral analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed spontaneous heart rate fluctuations by use of autonomic blocking agents and changes in posture, and found that low-frequency fluctuations (below 0.12 Hz) in the supine position are mediated entirely by the parasympathetic nervous system.
