What is the Early Warning Scale: Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

HRV measures the variation in time between each heartbeat (in milliseconds). A healthy heart is not like a metronome; it speeds up slightly when you inhale and slows down when you exhale.

What is the Early Warning Scale: Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

The “Early Warning Scale” you are referring to is Heart Rate Variability (HRV) itself. Unlike the Ewing system, which rates neuropathy in distinct stages (Normal, Early, Definite, Severe), HRV is a continuous physiological measurement. It is considered an “early warning” system because it can detect subclinical nerve damage (specifically to the vagus nerve) long before … إقرأ المزيد
