Heart-rate variability has been widely researched because it can help predict heart disease. Heart-rate variability also embeds information about the patient's physical condition. The power spectral density (PSD) of the heart rate has been found to vary with breathing rate, changes in blood pressure and psychophysical conditions like anxiety or stress. All these phenomena are, in turn, related to autonomic nervous system activity, which is reflected in specific frequency bands.

Abstract
Heart-rate variability has been widely researched because it can help predict heart disease. Heart-rate variability also embeds information about the patient's physical condition. The power spectral density (PSD) of the heart rate has been found to vary with breathing rate, changes in blood pressure and psychophysical conditions like anxiety or stress. All these phenomena are, in turn, related to autonomic nervous system activity, which is reflected in specific frequency bands.
