Scientists investigate best way to measure heart health signals
NCT ID NCT07531992
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring heart rate variability for different lengths of time (1, 5, 10, or 20 minutes) gives the same results, and how those results relate to blood pressure. About 40 healthy adults will wear a chest strap for one visit. The goal is to help researchers and doctors know which recording length is most reliable.
