Why the study?
Does heart rate variability assessment predict longevity better than annual health examinations in very elderly residents of long-term care facilities?
Does heart rate variability assessment predict longevity better than annual health examinations in very elderly residents of long-term care facilities?
Heart rate variability parameters (SDNN and CVRR) derived from Holter ECGs are significant predictors of longevity in very elderly long-term care residents, outperforming standard annual health examination metrics.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid mortality risk stratification in very elderly care residents; leaves open whether HRV outperforms annual examinations.
