HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV)

There are many diagnostic tests that are used at The DaVinci Natural Health Centre, but there is one called HRV that is a measure of total health and fitness. This is ideal for monitoring the progress of the patients treatment programme as comparisons can be made between initial testing and testing after treatment has begun.


At The DaVinci Natural Health Centre we also use HRV to determine:

  • The early signs of development of pathological processes or the presence of a functional disorder

  • The Level of Physical Fitness

  • Treatment Effectiveness

The test is very simple to use. First, the patient lies down for a few minutes with a chest strap sensor applied to their chest, which is linked to a computer. After a few minutes the subject stands up and remains standing for a few more minutes. During the test the monitoring device downloads the test data into the computer, where results are calculated by the Nerve-Express system.
