Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) has been tauted as a noninvasive means of assessing cardiac autonomic tone. Little agreement exists on optimal measures (i.e., peak vs. area absolute value vs. ratio, RR intervals vs. differences in successive RR intervals). The authors compared anal...
