HRV spectral indices may refine autonomic assessment when age- and posture-adjusted; leaves open prospective clinical validation.
Spectral analysis of heart rate variability provides a quantitative index of autonomic nervous function through its respiratory and 0.1Hz components.
Hayano et al. (1988) conducted a review in Healthy (Autonomic nervous function) (n=53). Age and posture changes was evaluated on Changes in spectral components of heart rate variability (RSA and MWSA). Spectral components of heart rate variability, specifically the respiratory and Mayer wave-related components, serve as quantitative indices of autonomic nervous function that vary significantly with age and posture.
