In its issue of June 2009, Chaos has published a special section containing
nine papers that address the question "Is the normal heart rate chaotic?".
The discussion was initiated last year as a joint effort of
Chaos and PhysioNet, which provided a
collection of fifteen 20-24 hour RR interval
time series derived from three PhysioBank ECG databases
as a common focus for investigation of this question.
