Heart Rate Variability Guide

Normal HRV
Normal Poincaré Plot
Has variability to
react to the
physiologic changes
that the body is going
through during sleep
Heart Rate Variability
• The Poincaré Plot
◦ X-axis :: measure of the current RR interval
◦ Y-axis :: measure of the next RR interval
Current
RRn
Interval
(x-axis)
Next RR Interval (RRn+1)
(y-axis)
Bradycardia
- Normal Sinus Rhythm,
where heart rate is
below 60 bpm
- All of the points shift to
the upper right
- Display’s INCREASED
time between R-R
intervals
Tachycardia
◦ All of the points
shift to the lower
left
◦ Display’s
DECREASED
time between R-
R intervals
-“Dot” Pattern
represents
pacemaker
-NO variability from
the
patient
-Heart rate totally
controlled
by pacer
Pacemaker
On Demand Pacemaker
◦ Controlled
Rhythm
◦ Not much
variance
OSA – Brady/Tachy
• Typical Pattern for OSA patient
◦ HR DECREASES during Apneic Event
◦ HR INCREASES after Apneic Event
Decreased
HR
Increased
HR
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
“Fan” Pattern
• Wide variations in R-wave
interval
• Typical OSA Patient pattern
• Data points vary from
Tachycardia (lower left
corner) to Bradycardia (upper
right corner)
