HRV ANALYSIS METHODS<br />

There are different <strong>method</strong>s <strong>of</strong> HRV <strong>an</strong>alysis. one <strong>of</strong> this <strong>method</strong><br />

is Time Domain Analysis. This <strong>method</strong> extracts a few special<br />

measures using only the temporal RR interval signals.<br />

For Time Series Analysis, Time Domain measures are commonly<br />

used. M<strong>an</strong>y measures c<strong>an</strong> be extracted from the original RR interval<br />

signals to show the ch<strong>an</strong>ges in the <strong>an</strong>s.<br />

Variables Units Description Statistical Measures<br />

RR Me<strong>an</strong> & Std S Me<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d st<strong>an</strong>dard deviation <strong>of</strong> all RR intervals<br />

HR Me<strong>an</strong> & Std 1/min Me<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d st<strong>an</strong>dard deviation <strong>of</strong> all heart rates.<br />

RMSSD MS Square root <strong>of</strong> the me<strong>an</strong> <strong>of</strong> the sum <strong>of</strong> squares <strong>of</strong><br />

differences between adjacent RR intervals.<br />

NN50 count<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> pairs <strong>of</strong> adjacent RR intervals differing<br />

by more th<strong>an</strong> 50 ms in all <strong>measurement</strong>s<br />

pNN50 % NN50 count divided by the total number <strong>of</strong> all RR<br />

intervals<br />

Geometrical measures<br />

HRV tri<strong>an</strong>gular<br />

index<br />

Total number <strong>of</strong> all RR intervals divided by the<br />

height <strong>of</strong> the histogram <strong>of</strong> all RR intervals.
