Abstract
Circulation recently published the work of Soares-Miranda et al,1 in which physical activity and heart rate variability (HRV) in older adults were evaluated. The authors showed that greater leisure activity, walking distance, and walking pace are associated with higher HRV, which they interpreted as better autonomic function. We have reservations concerning this conclusion. First, physical activity lowers resting heart rate (HR).2 It is established that time- and frequency-domain measures of HRV are nonlinearly dependent on HR, with low HRV being intrinsically linked to a higher HR, and vice versa.3–5 We argue that HRV is a nonlinear surrogate of HR.3 Soares-Miranda et …
