ABSTRACT
Short-term ECG-derived heart rate variability can assess autonomic function non-invasively. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of body posture and gender on parasympathetic-sympathetic balance by utilising electrocardiogram (ECG). A total of sixty participants including thirty males (95% CI 23.34-26.32 years old) and thirty females (95% CI 23.33-26.07 years old) voluntarily executed three sets of 5-min ECG recordings in supine, sitting and standing posture. A nonparametric Friedman test followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test was carried out to find the statistical differences between the group. A significant difference was observed for RR mean, low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), ratio LF/HF and the ratio long term variability to short term variability (SD2/SD1) for p < 0.01 while respiration rate (Resp Rate), standard deviation of heart rate (STD_HR), long term variability (SD2), approximate entropy (ApEn), correlation dimension (CD) are non-significant (p > 0.01) for supine, sitting and standing. HRV indices such as standard deviation of NN (SDNN), HRV triangular index (HRVi), and triangular interpolation of NN interval (TINN) are statistically not significant for males but there are significant differences for females at a significance level 1%. Relative reliability and relatedness were evaluated through the interclass coefficient (ICC) and spearman correlation coefficient. The experimental results advocate that there is a posture-specific difference in HRV indices while the correlational studies suggest no such significant differences.
