Abstract
In this chapter, we present new results in developing a novel mathematical model that describes the interactions between the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems and heart rate fluctuations over a short-term period of 5–10 min. While our model is based upon well-accepted physiological principles, the mathematical formulation permits in-depth numerical and analytical investigations yielding valuable insight into clinical RR interval analysis techniques.
