Data Acquisition of Beat-to-Beat Variation of the Heart Rate: An ECG Monitor Compared to Bodyguard(registered)1

Abstract

Heart rate is primarily influenced by the parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Heart rate variability (HRV) is the variation of beats over a period of time and reflects the modulation of cardiac activity. Low HRV is associated with chronic pain and distress, which are prevalent in the military population. The Bodyguard(registered) 1 is a portable inter-beat interval (IBI) recording monitor that can record up to 14 days of ANS functional data. However, this monitor has not been tested against a traditional three lead ECG on a population with suspected ANS dysfunction.
