Heart rate variability in relation to stress in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus).

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: This study describes a safe, reliable, and accessible means to measure heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV) and evaluates the use of HRV as a physiological correlate of stress in the Asian elephant. A probabilistic model indicates that HRV measurements may adequately distinguish between stressed and non-stressed elephants.
