This book introduces readers to the basic concepts of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and its most important analysis algorithms using a hands-on approach based on the open-source RHRV software. HRV refers to the variation over time of the intervals between consecutive heartbeats. Despite its apparent simplicity, HRV is one of the most important markers of the autonomic nervous system activity and it has been recognized as a useful predictor of several pathologies. The book discusses all the basic HRV topics, including the physiological contributions to HRV, clinical applications, HRV data acquisition, HRV data manipulation and HRV analysis using time-domain, frequency-domain, time-frequency, nonlinear and fractal techniques.

Constantino Antonio García Martínez is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Centro Singular de Investigación en Tecnoloxías da Información (University of Santiago de Compostela). His main research interest is the application of stochastic models and dynamical systems theory to biosignals, especially in the field of electrocardiography and heart rate variability analysis.
Xosé A. Vila received a B.Sc. and Ph. D. from the University of Santiago de Compostela with a thesis on HRV. He was an associate professor of Computer Science there, and has been an associate professor of Computer Science at Vigo University, in Spain since 2006. He is coauthor of more than 20 scientific papers and more than 30 contributions at conferences and symposiums on HRV, and he has led and participated in various research projects related with HRV. Since 2011 he has been the head of the Center for Research, Transfer and Innovation at Vigo University.
Jesús María Rodríguez Presedo received B.Sc, and P
h.D. degrees in Physics from the University of Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in 1989 and 1994, respectively. He is currently a researcher at the Centro Singular de Investigación en Tecnoloxías da Información, University of Santiago de Compostela. His research interests include biomedical digital signal processing, heart rate variability, nonlinear dynamics, soft computing and the development of ubiquitous healthcare systems.
