【 摘 要 】

Recently J.Kuo and C.D.Kuo published a method for decomposing the power spectrum, PSD, of heart rate variability (HRV) in a power-law function “displaying the fractal characteristics of the PSD” and in a residual spectrum, rHRV (1). Readers of this journal should consider important methodological aspects of this approach to interpret correctly its results.
