Open a Window into the Autonomic Nervous System Quantifying the
amount of autonomic nervous system activity in an individual
patient can be extremely important, because it provides a gauge of
disease severity in a large number of diseases. Heart rate
variability (HRV) calculated from both short-term and longer-term
electrocardiograms is an ideal window into such autonomic activity
for two reasons: one, heart rate is sensitive to autonomic activity
in the entire body, and two, recording electrocardiograms is
inexpensive and non-invasive unlike other techniques currently
available for autonomic assessment, such as microneurography and
metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scanning. Heart Rate Variability
(HRV) Signal Analysis: Clinical Applications provides a
comprehensive review of three major aspects of HRV: mechanism,
technique, and clinical applications. Learn Techniques for HRV
Signal Analysis Edited by an engineer, a cardiologist, and a
neurologist, and featuring contributions by widely published
international researchers, this interdisciplinary book begins by
reviewing the many signal processing techniques developed to
extract autonomic activity information embedded in heart-rate
records. The classical time and frequency domain measures,
baroreceptor sensitivity, and newer non-linear measures of HRV are
described with a fair amount of mathematical detail with the
biomedical engineer and mathematically oriented physician in mind.
The book also covers two recent HRV methods, heart-rate turbulence
and phase-rectified signal averaging. Use of HRV in Clinical Care
The large clinical section is a must-read for clinicians and
engineers wishing to get an insight into how HRV is applied in
medicine. Nineteen chapters altogether are devoted to uses of HRV
in: Monitoring-for example to predict potential complications in
pregnancies, fetal distress, and in neonatal critical care Acute
care-for gauging the depth of anesthesia during surgery and
predicting change in patient status in the intensive care unit
Chronic disorders-for assessing the severity of congestive heart
failure, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and depression Bringing
together the latest research, this comprehensive reference
demonstrates the utility and potential of HRV signal analysis in
both the clinic and physiology laboratory.
