Computes the short- and long-axis standard deviations of the Poincare plot: SD1 (short-term variability) and SD2 (long-term).

Usage

hrvnl(rr)

Arguments

rr

Numeric vector of RR intervals in milliseconds.

Value

List with value (SD1), name, and extra (sd1, sd2, sd1_sd2_ratio, n_intervals).

rr <- 800 + cumsum(rnorm(200, sd = 20))
res <- hrvnl(rr)
res$extra$sd1
