Surprising Findings
Extremely short ECG measurements (10 seconds) showed predictive value for liver disease
Typically, HRV is measured over longer periods (minutes or hours), but this study found even ultra-short recordings could detect meaningful patterns related to future liver disease
Practical Takeaways
Consider getting a basic heart rhythm check during routine physicals if you're concerned about metabolic health
