Abstract :
It is generally accepted that HRV (heart rate variability) LF component frequency is related to the baroreflex control mechanism. In this study, HRV LF component and HRT (heart rate turbulence) spectrums are compared, and it is found that both have similar frequencies in a group of 33 subjects. It can be concluded that the HRT mechanism is strongly influenced by the baroreflex system.
