Common Questions and Answers about Heart rate variability

Avatar m tn There has been experiments with different psychological and physiological measures, but it was consistently heart rate variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, that appear to be the most dynamic and reflective of inner emotional states and stress. It seems clear that the automatic nervous system and any negative emotions lead to increased disorder in the heart’s rhythms and in the autonomic nervous system, thereby adversely affecting the rest of the body.
Avatar f tn Check your own heart rate at different times of day. When you wake up, after you take a shower, after you've gone up and down the stairs a few times. Is it the same every time? No. Are you unhealthy because of it? No. Heart rates aren't supposed to stay static. The body doesn't work that way. All those numbers are well within the range of normal. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that amount of variability.
Avatar n tn A definition of normal would also include what is the heart rate variability, how quickly does it recover after exercise, etc. If you are worried, it is probably best to ask your doctor if everything is ok. Wikipedia has a well written article also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Thats exactly what I mean, but, when it speeds up it seems to go rather fast.
Avatar f tn Hi itdood, thank you for your comment. I didn't know about heart rate increase during REM sleep. I also didn't know about heart rate variability or HRV. I will research on it!! Thank you!! I really appreciate your comment and I love this site.....!

If some of this seems to fit your description of things I recommend relaxation techniques or meditation. Or if it continues for the next week go to your doctor again and tell him this is what your feeling and he'll be able to make diagnosis.
Avatar n tn Hi, I am not sure is this is what you are addressing, but Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia, perhaps abbreviated (likely abbreviated) by the Doctors as Sinus Arrhythmia, is the natural increase in the heart rate as you breathe in and decrease in the heart rate as you breathe out. This is a natural condition expected to occur in healthy individuals.

Avatar m tn Good news is, None of this means anything. Heart Rate Variability is indeed an indicator of chronotropic competence which can indicate how your hearts electrical system is aging. But no, an app is not diagnostic nor accurate enough to make such a determination.
Avatar f tn There is some authoritative information on the Internet that associates IIH with heart rate variability. You should check it out. Are you being treated, or have you been just diagnosed? IIH appears to be something that you should get treated for right away.

1375380 tn?1278892326 (Other tests that they may be planning on doing are radionuclide hemodynamic and blood volume testing, heart rate variability/deep breathing and valsalva maneuver, and QSART. It was my experience, though I went in through the cardiology branch of the dysautonomia center and you're going in through the neurology branch so your mileage may vary, that they used the TTT and radionuclide hemodynamic and blood volume testing to evaluate whether any of the further testing was warranted.
Avatar f tn Told myself two things that one is irrelevant and two was probably falling normally then I saw it and made me panic and it jumped again. Or that might just be what they do, as the cardiologist I saw said heart rate variability is good and they do jump around through adrenaline etc but just becasuse your heart goes down by 10 then up by 10 doesn't mean you are having ectopics or arrythmia it is just how hearts operate.
Avatar f tn A perfect result on a nonstress test will show a baby that moves and the heart rate increases, and then the baby has more restful periods where the heartrate is a lower rate, but still a healthy rate (above 120 at all times). They're looking for variability of increases and decreases in periods of movement and stillness. The concern is that a baby who has stopped moving much isn't getting enough oxygen, and so is conserving movement.
Avatar n tn We all have quite a bit of variability in our heart rates over a 24 hour period. When your heart rate occasionally increases to 98 beats per minute, that will feel “fast” to you, but it is not fast enough to suggest any arrhythmia of the heart beat. Usually, abnormal arrhythmias that occur at rest are associated with heart rates that are over 150-180 beats per minute. It is great that you have taken your pulse rate, as this is very helpful information for your doctor to have.
2062192 tn?1333714423 Lots of babies don't like contractions so their heart rate changes. Most doctors don't really get concerned unless the rate drops to 100 or lower or if it drops and doesn't go to normal quickly. If she sent you home just to rest then it's not something to really worry about. Do your kick counts a few times a day and don't be afraid to go in if you get too worried.
Avatar n tn Typically, the big risks are infection, bleeding, electrical heart block (in which the top of the heart does not electrically connect with the bottom of the heart, requiring a pacemaker) and a permanently damaged aortic valve that, despite surgery, still may not function correctly. There is no 100% guarantee that anything will succeed, and there is variability across both providers as well as centers, so you do want to try to go to a place that will have the optimal outcomes for your child.
4223560 tn?1355525950 could you help me i had to get a operation and it went well had to get novasure done , but they found out i had irregular heart beat got ecg done , 24hr recording done and echo gram my heart does beat fast , the results said basic rhythm was sinus heart rate variability ranged from 60bpm-118bpm 1 minute average 27,995 aberrant beats in total 1854 episodes of bigeminy, longest 30 cycles ,episodes of trigeminy longest 69 cycles , no significant pauses , my symptoms coincided with sinus rhythm with
Avatar n tn From there, surface EMG scans, electronic range of motion measurements, and even heart rate variability scanners are all being used in modern chiropractic practices. Personally, I feel it is absolutely essential to use some form of objective criteria to monitor spinal conditions. Whether through x-ray, or the technology mentioned above, it really is imperative. Relying solely on palpation (feeling with hands) is entirely too subjective.
1139941 tn?1260913035 Heart rate is controlled by the autonomic nervous system which we cannot directly control. When we are depressed, heart rate variability is not controlled properly it is actually decreased. This means when we exercise etc, the heart will not adapt to the situation as it should and poses a risk of irregular hearbeats and in extreme cases this can cause sudden death. When the depression ends, the heart begins to behave correctly.
