Heart rate variability (HRV) has been used as a reliable method to detect cardiac autonomic nervous system activity. Peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) has been a predictor of death for adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). This study investigated the correlation between HRV and exercise capaci...
