English abstract:
Background: Heart rate variability is the variation of the time interval between consecutive heartbeats. Entropy is a
commonly used tool to describe the regularity of data sets. Entropy functions are defined using multiple
parameters, the selection of which is controversial and depends on the intended purpose. This study describes the
results of tests conducted to support parameter selection, towards the goal of enabling further biomarker
discovery.
