Heart rate variability, specifically the LF/HF ratio, shows physiological plausibility as a predictive tool for spinal-induced hypotension during cesarean delivery, though its routine clinical necessity remains debatable.

Richard M. Smiley (2005) conducted an editorial in Hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring was evaluated. Heart rate variability assessment, specifically a high low-frequency to high-frequency ratio on the day of surgery, may predict hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
