Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measurement of the variation in time between each heartbeat, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). HRV provides insights into the balance between the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response) and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest response).

Key Features of a Good HRV Measurement System

• Rapid Assessment: Provides a quick evaluation of autonomic regulation.
• Parasympathetic Reserves: Makes the reserves of the parasympathetic nervous system visible.
• Stress Resilience: Assesses the body's ability to handle stress.
• Regulatory Rigidity: Recognizes rigidity in the body's regulatory system.
• HRV Parameters: Accurately determines key HRV parameters.
• Therapy Control: Offers fast and objective control over therapy.
• Stress Impact: Shows the patient the harmful effects of stress.

Our HRV System

Our HRV system is designed for ease of use, fast and meaningful results, and can be delegated easily. Developed with leading scientists in the HRV field, it focuses on a few key parameters:

• Sympathetic Nervous System: Mapped using the Baevsky Stress Index (SI).
• Parasympathetic Nervous System: Mapped using RMSSD (Root Mean Square of Successive Differences).

These parameters are calculated via time domain analysis, adhering to global standards established since 1996. RMSSD is chosen for its stability and resistance to disturbances, providing the most reliable measure of the parasympathetic nervous system.

In summary, a good HRV measurement system should be easy to use, provide rapid and accurate results, and offer meaningful insights into autonomic regulation and stress resilience.
