BURN OUT SYNDROME - heavily over loaded, incapable of working
Example 3:
Manual Worker, 49 years old, very poor sleep, always tired, incapable of working
NORMAL REGULATION and recovery during the night
SCREENING FOR SLEEP APNOEA - and assessment of sleep quality
Example 1:
Manager, 52 years old, deep sleep, good recovery, high working capacity.
REDUCED REGULATION - over loaded, little recover at night
Example 4:
• Team Leader, 57 years old, poor sleep quality, always tired, falls asleep during the day
• Heart Rate – a saw tooth pattern at night, typical of people with sleep apnoea
Example 2:
Manager, 48 years old, poor sleep, tired and low working capacity.
• Respiration curve – shows periods of no breathing, again an indication of sleep apnoea
New perspectivities in HRV
Heart rate variability is a
powerful measure of autonomic nervous system function. Low HRV is considered
as an independent marker of mortality risk but it is important to ensure that the
beat to beat variation is real,
and not caused by inaccuracies of the equipment used to
carry out the measurement.
SCHILLERmedilog Darwin HRV
provides the best beat to beat
measurement available noninvasively and is an ideal tool
for screening for autonomic
failure, syncope, neuropathy
and detailed research into
HRV and its associated conditions.
