“This book presents a comprehensive view of ECG time series variability analysis, covering many relevant aspects from descriptive approaches and modelling to advanced signal processing methods. The different clinical applications of the techniques are covered in detail, with examples including, but not limited to, foetal heart rate variability, heart rate variability in psychiatric disorders, schizophrenia, or chronic kidney disease. Therefore, it is likely to become a well-received book by those who already have an interest in the topic, those who might be interested in the possible usefulness of heart rate variability analysis in different conditions, and those wanting to get started in ECG time series variability analysis.”
