Abstract

Introduction: Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis tools have been mainly available for analysis of human electrocardiographic derived heart rate. We explore extending HRV analysis to two additional dimensions: (1) analysis across multiple mammalian species and (2) analysis across different levels of integration for example sinoatrial tissue. Methods: We analyzed the beating rate variability (BRV) across the two additional dimensions using the PhysioZoo computer program that we recently introduced. We used published databases of electrocardiograms from four mammal types: human (n=18), dog (n=17, rabbit (n=4) and mouse (n=8) We computed the BRV measures for each. We also show how the PhysioZoo program can be used for the analysis of sinoatrial node tissue BRV. Results: The study of typical mammalian heart and respiration rates (obtained from the dominant high frequency peak) revealed a linear relationship between these two quantities. Analysis of the rabbit sinoatrial node tissue BRV showed that it had reduced overall variability when compared to in vivo heart BRV.
