Narrative review reveals the connection between hypertension and short-term HRV, highlighting clinical implications and challenges in interpretation.

Hypertension is linked to decreased short-term heart rate variability, indicating autonomic dysfunction and elevated cardiovascular risks.
Evidence shows that lower HRV is a predictor of hypertension development, reflecting potential for its use as a biomarker.
The review discusses mechanistic pathways involving sympathetic activity and vagal tone related to hypertension and HRV.
Standardization in HRV measurement is critical for accurate interpretation and clinical application in managing hypertension.

Irfana et al. (2025) studied this question.
