Abstract
The stability of indexes of heart rate variability and their possible assoc iation with spontaneous variability of ventricular ectopy was examined in 1 3 patients with advanced congestive heart failure over 14 consecutive days of 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic recording. It was found that tim e and frequency domain measures of heart rate variability are stable over t ime and are inversely correlated with spontaneous variability of ventricula r ectopy.
