Poincaré Plot of RR-Interval Differences (PORRID) A New Method for Assessing Heart Rate Variability (original) (raw)

2014

Interaction of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems result in variation of RR interval (variation of heart rate) appeared significantly and related to physiological (or pathological) conditions. Heart rate variabiliy (HRV) is a non-invasive index of the neural control of the heart. The control of heart rate has mainly involve nonlinear mechanism so that the application of non linear techniques seems more suitable for HRV analysis. Poincare plot is one of the non linear techniques used for ascertaining the HRV, which in turn is a marker of the activity of the autonomic system. Analysis of a conventional Poincare plots that use only successive RRI duplets will underestimate the ability of heart beats to influence a train of succeeding beats. A new method for assessing HRV has developed, namely Poincare Plot of RR Interval Differences (PORRID). PORRID is a graphical representation of the variation of RR intervals difference (RRI) that form a pattern around the origin. The P...

Poincaré plot of heart rate variability allows quantitative display of parasympathetic nervous activity in humans

Clinical science (London, England : 1979), 1996

1. Time domain summary statistics and frequency domain parameters can be used to measure heart rate variability. More recently, qualitative methods including the Poincaré plot have been used to evaluate heart rate variability. The aim of this study was to validate a novel method of quantitative analysis of the Poincaré plot using conventional statistical techniques. 2. Beat-to-beat heart rate variability was measured over a relatively short period of time (10-20 min) in 12 healthy subjects aged between 20 and 40 years (mean 30 +/- 7 years) during (i) supine rest, (ii) head-up tilt (sympathetic activation, parasympathetic nervous system activity withdrawal), (iii) intravenous infusion of atropine (parasympathetic nervous system activity withdrawal), and (iv) after overnight administration of low-dose transdermal scopolamine (parasympathetic nervous system augmentation). 3. The "width' of the Poincaré plot, as quantified by SD delta R-R (the difference between successive R-R ...
