- This paper sheds new light on the differences between coordinated heart rate variability (HRV) and pulse rate variability (PRV) measurements from subjects undergoing a whole-body cold exposure study. Debate still arises over the effect of certain environmental factors on the sympathetic nervous system and the role it plays in regulating our heart rate. PRV has been shown to vary against HRV parameters from the same subject, and this paper shows that PRV must not necessarily be used as a substitute to HRV, with careful consideration being made to the environmental factors that affect sensor locations on the hands or feet
