HRV 是什么

Heart rate variability (HRV) is not heart rate — it is the tiny fluctuation in the time interval between consecutive heartbeats. The heart is never as even as a metronome; a healthy heart 'breathes' a little between every beat.

That elasticity comes from the two hands of the autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic branch (SNS, like an accelerator, making the beat faster and more regular) and the parasympathetic/vagal branch (PNS, like a brake, making it slower with more flexible intervals). High HRV usually means good vagal 'brake' tone and a body in a state where it can recover. Think of it as 'rhythmic elasticity', not 'one more heart-rate number'.
