HRV
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is determined by analyzing the time series of beat-to-beat intervals from an electrocardiogram (ECG).
HRV analysis has become one of the most popular methods of ANS evaluation. It is based on the observation that even at rest the duration of RR intervals is not constant but continually fluctuates around the mean value.
ECG, blood pressure, or arterial pulse recordings can be used to investigate the interplay between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
PowerLab and LabChart combine to form a powerful, customizable system to record and analyze heart rate variability (HRV) in animals for your ANS research.

Products and Solutions
In conjunction with our solutions shown below, any device with an analog output (+/- 10V) can be connected to a PowerLab data acquisition system for synchronization of the event in LabChart, giving you even more flexibility and the ability to integrate your data streams in one place.
All of our hardware is backed by the appropriate safety certification standards. More information on safety standards.
