Abstract
Spectral analysis of heart rate variability has gained popularity as a simple, non-invasive tool for assessing autonomic function in both normal subjects and in patients in a variety of clinical settings. However, the use of this method as a means of estimating the magnitude of cardiac sympathetic activation in individual patients with heart failure has proved disappointing, with a lack of concordance with more direct measures of sympathetic outflow. This review will describe the rationale involved in using sympathetic indices obtained from spectral analysis of heart rate variability to assess cardiac sympathetic outflow in normal subjects and patients with heart failure. The specific limitations and technological concerns that dictate how it may most effectively be used in this patient population will be discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
