TLDR
The absence of the heart rate turbulence after ventricular premature beats is a very potent postinfarction risk stratifier that is independent of other known risk factors and which is stronger than other presently available risk predictors.

Heart Rate Variability: Measurement and Clinical Utility

TL;DR: Electrocardiographic RR intervals fluctuate cyclically, modulated by ventilation, baroreflexes, and other genetic and environmental factors that are mediated through the autonomic nervous system, and are useful for assessing risk of cardiovascular death or arrhythmic events, especially when combined with other tests.

Task Force on Sudden Cardiac Death of the European Society of Cardiology

TL;DR: The members of the Task Force on Sudden Death dedicate this paper to the memory of their former friend and colleague, Professor Ronald W. F. Campbell, who spent his life working in the field of sudden cardiac death, and the extent of the expanding knowledge in this field is described.

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.

Regression Models and Life-Tables

TL;DR: The analysis of censored failure times is considered in this paper, where the hazard function is taken to be a function of the explanatory variables and unknown regression coefficients multiplied by an arbitrary and unknown function of time.

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.
