The social gradient for cardiovascular disease (CVD) onset and outcomes is well
established. The American Heart Association's Social Determinants of Risk and Outcomes of …

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a daunting problem. It is a major public health issue
for several reasons: from its prevalence (20% of total mortality in the industrialized world) to …

Ambulatory ECG (AECG) is very commonly employed in a variety of clinical contexts to
detect cardiac arrhythmias and/or arrhythmia patterns which are not readily obtained from …

Measurement of heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive technique that can be used to
investigate the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, especially the balance …

Heart rate variability (HRV) provides indirect insight into autonomic nervous system tone,
and has a well-established role as a marker of cardiovascular risk. Recent decades brought …

Heart rate (HR) variability has been extensively studied in cardiac patients, especially in
patients surviving an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and also in patients with congestive …

This paper reviews the methods used for editing of the R–R interval time series and how this
editing can influence the results of heart rate (HR) variability analyses. Measurement of HR …

This consensus statement has been compiled on behalf of the International Society for
Holter and Noninvasive Electrophysiology. It reviews the topic of heart rate turbulence (HRT) …

Background The “gray zone” of myocardial fibrosis (GZF) on cardiovascular magnetic
resonance may be a substrate for ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Objectives The purpose of …

Objectives: This study sought to determine whether combined assessment of autonomic
tone plus cardiac electrical substrate identifies most patients at risk of serious events after …
