[Mobilisation readiness state and the frequency structure of heart rate variability]
Abstract:
A number of studies showed association of mental status with heart rate variability. This work discovered a feature of frequency structure of heart rate variability that is associated with mental readiness. In three independent groups of 64, 39, and 19 volunteers by the factor analysis of heart rate periodograms, it has been discovered that there are at least two other heart rate oscillation phenomena apart from the well known low frequency oscillations and respiratory arrhythmia. They have periods of 3 and 4 heart beats. Association of amplitude of 3-beats oscillation with level of mental readiness was shown due to further observation in two independent groups of 12 and 7. Moreover, possibility of assessment of mental readiness by the mathematical model based on heart rate periodogram was suggested.

The SNS increases heart rate through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which act on beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action increases the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's...
