Abstract

The authors introduce a method of analysis of the power spectrum for the heart rate variability (HRV) signal in normal healthy subjects undergoing various procedures of physical and psychophysical stress. The spectral parameters obtained constitute a quantitative marker which describes the sympatho-vagal balance elicited in the control of heart rate and other cardiovascular signals. Such an approach is considered important for the evaluation of the effects of different stressors in human cardiovascular physiology and the related pathology.
