At First Choice Medical Care, we’re committed to providing cutting-edge diagnostic services that support your whole-body health. One of the most insightful tools we use to evaluate overall wellness and nervous system balance is Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Testing — a non-invasive test that can uncover hidden stress, cardiovascular risks, and more.
Whether you’re managing chronic health conditions or simply want to stay proactive with your wellness, HRV testing is a powerful addition to your care plan.
What Is Heart Rate Variability?
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures the tiny variations in time between your heartbeats. While your pulse might seem steady, a healthy heart actually beats with subtle variability. This fluctuation reflects how well your autonomic nervous system (ANS) — the part of your body that controls unconscious functions like breathing and digestion — is functioning.
In general:
- High HRV indicates strong nervous system adaptability and good health.
- Low HRV may point to stress, fatigue, or early signs of chronic disease.
Why HRV Matters for Your Health
HRV isn’t just a number — it’s a window into how well your body is handling internal and external stress. Studies have linked low HRV to:
- Cardiovascular disease
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Chronic inflammation
- Anxiety and depression
By measuring HRV, our providers can better understand how your nervous system is functioning and whether it’s contributing to other health concerns.
