HRV measurement health check
Heart rate variability measurement (HRV) – what is your stress level & how does your body cope with it?
The ingenious health index that comes from the heart! Scientifically recognized method.
Our heart is the first organ to form in the sixth week of pregnancy and beats for the rest of our lives.
Our heartbeat varies depending on requirements: the heart has to constantly adapt to the environmental conditions, for example during stress or physical activity, but also during sleep or in moments of relaxation.
Even our thoughts and emotions influence our heartbeat in real time. These adaptation processes are expressed in heart rate variability (HRV).
Specifically, our sinus node, as the “pacemaker” of the heart, sets the heart rhythm.
However, depending on needs, this is modulated via our hormone or nervous system.
This adaptation process is vital. Low heart rate variability indicates significantly worse health than high (i.e. flexible) heart rate variability.
An HRV measurement therefore provides information about the ability of an organism to meet constant demands based on the various evaluation parameters.
„If the heartbeat becomes as regular as the tapping of the woodpecker or the dripping of rain on the roof, the patient will die within 4 days.“ – Wang Shu Ho,Doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the 3rd century AD, in his standard work on pulse diagnostics
With the HRV measurment diagnostic and regulation system, we offer you the opportunity to record your body’s functional status based on the measured heart rate variability. Your organism’s reserves are assessed and summarized to form a prognosis.
Stress is the biggest challenge in our time. What your rhythm of life is like and how well your body can deal with all these challenges is made visible here with the HRV measurment.
Stress is thought to be responsible for 70 to 95% of chronic illnesses. We are often no longer in harmony with our bodies and especially with our hearts. Most of the time we no longer feel our stress level.
With HRV measurement we receive a lot of information within a few minutes:
• your energy situation and resources in the organism,
• your current stress index & biological age,
• numerous biorhythms (e.g. mitochondrial cell performance, circadian rhythm, autophagy, etc.),
• assessment of the autonomic nervous system (how do the sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous systems work together),
• assessment of your neurohormoral status (stress reaction to organs – weak adrenal glands),
• cardiac output and activity,
• adaptability of your body (how well it adapts to your lifestyle),
• energy reserves,
• psycho-emotional index,
• your overall energy level,
• physiological area,
• energetic area,
• the Total Power value (TP) is the sum of all HRV values and is therefore the indicator of the overall vitality status.
Did you know that our heart is a resonance body for many vitality processes and biorhythms that are controlled by the central and autonomic nervous system?
Among other things, it is closely connected to our brain as well as the organ, immune and hormonal systems and registers every change, no matter how small. The activity level and the interaction of these vital functions can be recorded and qualitatively determined via heart rate variability (HRV).
How does HRV work: measurement
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of an organism’s overall adaptability and therefore a measure of its health.
By analyzing the heart’s actions, it is possible to capture a very precise profile of the patient’s or carer’s stress situation.
300 heartbeats are used to analyze how variably the heart acts in order to absorb stress and regulate it optimally.
The HRV system measurment objectively depicts the stress situation on the organism, which can be both a trigger and a symptom of serious health problems.
Using modern HRV analysis programs, the level of activity of the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic system and, in the case of HRV measurment, also the neuro-humoral control axis (stress hormone axis) can be measured and displayed.
The more coordinated the heart can switch between tension and relaxation, the better organic processes run, such as breathing, digestion, circulation and hormonal regulation. HRV therefore enables concrete conclusions to be drawn about the individual health status.
Who should take the HRV measurement?
• For all healthy people for prevention as a regular routine check-up.
• For all people with high levels of stress who would like to know what effects stress already has on their organism (and what can promote balance).
• For people with sleep disorders, difficulty concentrating, hormonal problems and psychosomatic complaints who are looking for the cause.
• For people with depression and burnout who want to bring balance back into their lives as part of therapy using HRV to monitor success.
• For people with chronic pain who want to find suitable therapeutic approaches or mobilize regenerative processes and self-healing powers.
For everyone who wants to know whether their body is okay with their lifestyle!
