Description
· Describes the many causes of heart rate variability
· Discusses clinical applications of heart rate variability to systems
biology and theories of complexity
· Details the bench to bedside approach to understanding heart rate variability
This book is an evaluation of heart rate variability (HRV), the tendency for
the heart rate to oscillate, increasing and decreasing depending on a number
of factors. Such oscillations can give information on the state of the complex
systems involved and can reveal a higher mortality risk. The author discusses
the basic functional structures responsible for HRV and the evidence for this.
In addition, the book provides a framework to understand HRV within the perspective
of systems biology and presents basic principles and related mathematical models.
Heart Rate Variability provides a thorough investigation of the clinical aspects of the concept, defining the level of risk, the practical management algorithms and clarification of the common mechanisms, such as heart rate turbulence. As such, this book will be of interest to all involved in the research and management of all the cardiovascular conditions related to this phenomenon.
