Cycle Length Dependency of Heart Rate Variability in Elderly with Ischemic Heart Disease

Low heart rate variability (HRV) is considered as a marker of coronary disease (CD). However, HRV also decreases with normal aging, reaching levels as low as those seen with CD. This limits the predictive utility of HRV. Cycle length dependency (CLD) of HRV has been proposed as an additional discriminator. To test the possibility that…
