From: Loss of lag-response curvilinearity of indices of heart rate variability in congestive heart failure
Representative Poincaré plots from two subjects. Panels A, C, E, and G are from a patient with CHF and panels B, D, F, and H are from a normal subject. For each subject the Poincaré plots use varying lags of 1, 2, 4 and 8 beats. The spread of the data points can be observed to increase for increasing lag for each subject. All plots are based on normal-to-normal RR intervals. It can also be noted that in this particular pair of subjects, the variability was more in the subject with CHF than that in the normal subject.
