Abstract:
Heart rate variability (HRV), as a safe and noninvasive marker of autonomic activity, is becoming a prescreening tool for the prediction of cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarction and heart failure after cerebral stroke. With good reproducibility and quantitative assessment of autonomic nervous system function, the association of some HRV parameters with neurological functional prognosis and stroke recurrence has been widely reported. However, current studies on the relationship between HRV and the clinical outcomes of stroke remain controversial. Previous studies on HRV have mainly focused on stroke prognosis or its role as a clinical biomarker, whereas other roles have rarely been explored. In this article, we review recent advances in the role of HRV in cerebral stroke according to current progress. Specifically, we summarized the role of HRV in the outcomes, complications, treatments, and mechanisms of stroke, based on the latest research. Further, in-depth implications of HRV in stroke are discussed.

01:27Regulation of Stroke Volume
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...

Preload
Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...

01:19Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...
