Can heart rate variability (HRV) provide additional insights into neurological health?

A new study investigated whether HRV features could help support the auxiliary diagnosis of epilepsy. Researchers observed lower HRV in individuals with epilepsy across multiple testing conditions, reinforcing the connection between autonomic nervous system function and brain health.

Although HRV is not designed to replace traditional diagnostic tools, studies like this highlight the growing role of physiological data in supporting clinical decision-making.

As wearable technologies and remote monitoring continue to evolve, HRV may become an increasingly valuable source of objective health information.

HRV features as potential biomarkers for auxiliary diagnosis in epilepsy - Scientific Reports Epilepsy affects around 70 million people worldwide, and diagnosis is often difficult and delayed, exposing patients to avoidable morbidity and psychosocial burden. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive marker of autonomic nervous system function that may be altered in epilepsy and may...
