Search for HRV-parameters that detect a sympathetic shift in heart failure patients on ß-blocker treatment

Background: A sympathetic shift in heart rate variability (HRV) from high, beat-to-beat, to lower frequencies may be an early signal of deterioration in a monitored patient. Most chronic heart failure (CHF) patients receive ß-blockers. This tends to obscure HRV observation by increasing the...
