Heart rate variability

Article Abstract:

The sensitivity of heart rate variability (HRV) in quantifying the cardiocirculatory reaction to dental stress compared with other clinical parameters more frequently used in clinical practice is evaluated. It is concluded that HRV is a highly sensitive parameter for quantifying the sympathetic drive to the heart during a cardiovascular reaction to a dental operation.
