Abstract: We comment on short- and long-term pulsation period variations of Z CVn, a classical RR Lyrae star with the Blazhko effect. Z CVn shows cyclic-like O-C diagram that can be interpreted as a consequence of binarity throught the light travel time effect. We show that this hypothesis is false and that the observed long-term period variations must be caused by some effect that is intrinsic to the star. We also show that the Blazhko period is not simply anti-correlated with the long-term period variations as was suggested by previous authors.
Keywords: Blazhko effect; long-term pulsation; short-term pulsation
