Parameters of heart rate variability in quantitative analysis of structural and functional cardiovascular disturbances

Abstract

Echocardiography, Dopller sonography, and heart rate variability assessment were performed in 53 subjects. A system for quantitative analysis of organic heart pathology's severity, with calculation of integral echocardiography index, has been developed. Principles of functional status dynamics, in progression of organic heart pathology, have been proposed. Moderate correlation between heart rate variability parameters, integral echocardiography index, and age, was demonstrated.
