Clustering heart rate dynamics is associated with β-adrenergic receptor polymorphisms: analysis by information-based similarity index.

<h4>Background</h4>Genetic polymorphisms in the gene encoding the β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) have a pivotal role in the functions of the autonomic nervous system. Using heart rate variability (HRV) as an indicator of autonomic function, we present a bottom-up genotype-phenotype analys...
