Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important metric with a variety of applications in clinical situations such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and mental health. HRV data can be potentially obtained from electrocardiography and photoplethysmography signals, then computational techniques such as signal filtering and data segmentation are used to process the sampled data for calculating HRV measures. However, uncertainties arising from data acquisition, computational models, and physiological factors can lead to degraded signal quality and affect HRV analysis. Therefore, it is crucial to address these uncertainties and develop advanced models for HRV analysis. Although several reviews of HRV analysis exist, they primarily focus on clinical applications, trends in HRV methods, or specific aspects of uncertainties such as measurement noise. This paper provides a comprehensive review of uncertainties in HRV analysis, quantifies their impacts, and outlines potential solutions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that presents a holistic review of uncertainties in HRV methods and quantifies their impacts on HRV measures from an engineer's perspective. This review is essential for developing robust and reliable models, and could serve as a valuable future reference in the field, particularly for dealing with uncertainties in HRV analysis.

Effects of the music tempo during walking exercise on heart rate variation, lactic acid, and aerobic variables in male college students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of music tempo on heart rate (HR), HR variability (HRV), lactate levels, and aerobic capacity during walking exercise in male college students. Ten male college students randomly participated in three experiments using various music tempos on a treadmill device to prevent data contamination between measurements by allowing a 2-week interval. Walking exercise was performed at a moderate intensity of 60%-70% maximum HR for 30 min, with participants divided into three groups based on music tempo: exercise group with fast tempo music (ExF, 120-160 bpm), exercise group with slow tempo music (ExS, 60-70 bpm), and exercise group without music (Ex).

The rise in individuals living alone in ageing societies raises concerns about social isolation and associated health risks, notably lonely deaths among the elderly. Traditional electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring systems, reliant on intrusive and potentially irritating electrodes, pose practical challenges. This study examines the efficacy of conductive textile electrodes (CTEs) vis-á-vis conventional electrodes (CEs) in ECG monitoring, along with the effect of electrode positioning.

Background: Prognosis prediction in the intensive care unit (ICU) traditionally relied on physiological scoring systems based on clinical indicators at admission. Electrocardiogram (ECG) provides easily accessible information, with heart rate variability (HRV) derived from ECG showing prognostic value. However, few studies have conducted a comprehensive analysis of HRV-based prognostic model against established standards, which limits the application of HRV's prognostic value in clinical settings.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts normal brain tissue and functions, leading to high mortality and disability. Severe TBI (sTBI) causes prolonged cognitive, functional, and multi-organ dysfunction. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) after sTBI can induce abnormalities in multiple organ systems, contributing to cardiovascular dysregulation and increased mortality.
