Analysis Results:
Once a period has been selected for analysis, this
area provides Overall Results with results in graphical and quantitative
form of the entire period analysed as one, and an Analysis Results Table
with epoch-by-epoch HRV measures.
3.2.1 Heart Rate &
Activity Graph
Controls
The Heart Rate & Activity graph has a number of controls and functions as
described below:
Click and drag using the right mouse button to scroll through the data. Use your
mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the time scale. Beyond a certain zoom level,
the graph will begin to show IBI data in blue rather than only averaged heart rate
in red. You may also use the controls to the left and right of the graph to change
the vertical scale for activity (movement), HR and IBI.
3.2.2 Overall
Results
It is possible to perform a detailed analysis of the IBI data recorded by
highlighting the region of interest on the Activity and Heart rate graph as
described above. The Overall Results tab will then present overall statistical
results for the period alongside graphical illustrations. These results are
described below.
•
VLF:
Very low frequency component of the IBI, derived using an FFT.
•
LF:
Low frequency component of the IBI, derived using an FFT.
•
HF:
High frequency component of the IBI derived using an FFT.
•
RMSSD:
Root mean square of the successive differences of the IBIs.
•
Triangular index:
The integral of the density distribution divided by the
maximum interval. This is also shown on the histogram plot.
