Autonomic Balance Monitoring

Meaning

Autonomic Balance Monitoring is the clinical process of quantitatively assessing the dynamic equilibrium between the two primary branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS): the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which drives the “fight or flight” response, and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), responsible for “rest and digest” functions. This non-invasive evaluation, often conducted through Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis, provides a measurable index of an individual’s capacity for stress adaptation, recovery status, and overall systemic resilience. Monitoring this balance offers a crucial physiological window into the neuroendocrine stress load, which profoundly influences hormonal regulation.
