• Abstract:

  One of the parameters for understanding the body's homeostasis is through the interaction between the cardiovascular and nervous systems, whose functioning is more dynamic in neonates. This article seeks to analyze heart rate variability in newborns, through previous studies related to the theme. It appears that the analysis of heart rate variation can be presented as a valid tool for monitoring the evolution of the autonomous system of neonates.
