Why using Heart Rate Variability in Heliobiology?

A variety of medical measures were used in heliobiological studies to assess participant health and their responses to solar changes. One common measure is Heart Rate Variability (HRV) from long-term ECGs. It provides insights into the heart and the Autonomic Nervous System. HRV measures beat-to-beat changes in heart activity and can evaluate also other patterns…
