Assessment of autonomic function by long-term heart rate variability: beyond the classical framework of LF and HF measurements

Abstract In the assessment of autonomic function by heart rate variability (HRV), the framework that the power of high-frequency component or its surrogate indices reflects parasympathetic activity, while the power of low-frequency component or LF/HF reflects sympathetic activity has been used as th...
