+@item -fix_sub_duration_heartbeat[:@var{stream_specifier}]
+Set a specific output video stream as the heartbeat stream according to which
+to split and push through currently in-progress subtitle upon receipt of a
+random access packet.
+
+This lowers the latency of subtitles for which the end packet or the following
+subtitle has not yet been received. As a drawback, this will most likely lead
+to duplication of subtitle events in order to cover the full duration, so
+when dealing with use cases where latency of when the subtitle event is passed
+on to output is not relevant this option should not be utilized.
+
+Requires @option{-fix_sub_duration} to be set for the relevant input subtitle
+stream for this to have any effect, as well as for the input subtitle stream
+having to be directly mapped to the same output in which the heartbeat stream
+resides.
