Heart rate variability can be accurately calculated from heart rate alone
the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
confidence 32/100
Heart rate variability cannot be accurately calculated from heart rate alone because HRV fundamentally measures the variability and timing differences between consecutive heartbeats rather than a static heart rate value.

Estimation of heart rate variability from heart rate measured with wristwatch‐type heart rate monitor

This study demonstrates that estimating frequency-domain HRV parameters directly from heart rate time series yields limited accuracy and requires specialized modeling and interpolation.
