Multiresolution representations of the heart rate variability (HRV) using the wavelet transforms are proposed to characterize the autonomic nervous system regulation of cardio-vascular activity during carotid surgery. Results suggest that the power in all frequency bands was low during the surgery and increased after the declamping of the carotid artery.
