Assessment of spectral analysis of heart rate variability in patients with history of atrial fibrillation by means of age-dependent parameters.
Heart rate variability evaluation is a useful diagnostic tool for autonomic nervous balance assessment. The role of the autonomic nervous system in aetiology of atrial fibrillation is sometimes clear as a trigger from a patient's history, but mostly it acts as a modulating factor which is not easy to detect. The present study demonstrates results of spectral analysis of short-term heart rate variability during ortho-clinostatic tests processed by means of age-dependent parameters. An original telemetric system and a unique method for heart rate variability assessment, developed by the Faculty of Physical Culture, were applied for the first time to examine patients with the history of atrial fibrillation.
