May enhance AF and mortality risk stratification beyond traditional HRV; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Nonlinear analysis methods of heart rate variability, such as fractal and complexity measures, offer promising prognostic value for mortality and atrial fibrillation prediction beyond traditional methods.
Perkiömäki et al. (2000) conducted a review in Heart rate variability. Nonlinear analysis of heart rate variability vs. Traditional time- and frequency-domain methods was evaluated on Mortality and spontaneous onset of atrial fibrillation. Nonlinear analysis methods of heart rate variability, including fractal and complexity measures, may better predict mortality and spontaneous atrial fibrillation than traditional methods.
