high HRV indicates a healthy heart?

Altered the "A high HRV indicates a healthy heart, whereas a decreased HRV is associated with increased mortality"-part because this does not hold in full generality to my knowledge. Stressing the system by, say hypovolemia, can, at least initially, lead to an increase in some measures of HRV. HRV is also a function of system state as a whole, not of cardiac health alone.

Another site giving a lot of interesting information on HRV for professionals at www.biocomtech.com.

Yet another site has a lot of information useful for ordinary people at www.heartwizard.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vpougatchev (talk • contribs) 01:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

clinical significance

So much "HRV analysis" methods and so little "clinical significance". What's the matter? These methods are methods of what? What is the purpose of these methods? What for are them? Analysis for analysis?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valery Mukhin (talk • contribs) 14:25, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Physiological correlates of HRV Components

Sorry I'm new here, so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. But that whole section entitled "Physiological correlates of HRV Components" is copied and pasted from this article: http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/93/5/1043. That section.. should probably be redone..or at least cited. I'll cite it if I figure out how to and perhaps try rewriting it, but no promises. Drk7 (talk) 19:56, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mental and social aspects

What does "HF" stand for, in the mentioned section? This should be possible to discern without having to read the whole article. --Kebman (talk) 09:47, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
