Such limitations can be overcome by nonlinear measures of HRV based on typical properties of chaotic systems and deterministic fractal. Very few paper addressed such issue and aim of the paper is to describe fractal behavior of HRV during exercise. A fractal analysis by Higuchi's algorithm (FD) has been performed on 26 cardiac patients during resting, stress, early and late recovery phases of ECG stress test. Results showed a significant FD increasing values from resting to stress phase that was not recovered at all immediately after the exercise, and it was slightly recovered both during early and late recovery phase. The performance of fractal analysis of HRV during and after high intensity exercise suggests that it could be a useful index assessing relevant information about underlying physiological recovery.","PeriodicalId":385389,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th Conference of the European Study Group on Cardiovascular Oscillations (ESGCO)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133942005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation is performed over a database containing SCPPG signals recorded from 10 healthy subjects during controlled respiration experiments at rates from 0.2 to 0.6 Hz with a step of 0.1 Hz, using iPhone 4S device. Results suggest that habitual spontaneous respiratory rates (0.2-0.4 Hz) can be estimated from SCPPG signals by PWV and by PRV with low relative error (median of order 0.5% and IQR of order 2%). PWV method maintained its performance at rates up to 0.5 Hz, and the accuracy can be improved by combining it with other methods such as PRV and PAV.","PeriodicalId":385389,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th Conference of the European Study Group on Cardiovascular Oscillations (ESGCO)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117214250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eighty older people (60-94 years old) were divided into frail group (n = 6), pre-frail (n=36) and non-frail group (n=38). The RR series were recorded at REST and during STAND for 10 minutes in each position. Short sequences of RR were analyzed by conditional entropy (CE) and approximate entropy (ApEn). Position, group and interaction effects were evaluated by two-way repeated-measures ANOVA. CE indicated only position effect while ApEn showed only group effect.

The individual gestational development is consistently reflected by the amount of irregularity of fetal HRV. We investigated binary symbolic dynamics of fetal heart rate with respect to individual changes during gestation. In 11 fetuses 215 fetal magnetocardiograms were acquired during the second and third trimester. Short term beat-to-beat changes reflecting acceleration and deceleration of heart rate were coded in 4 bit binary patterns. To reduce redundancies in the patterns five pattern sets were created according to the complexities of the 24 different patterns. The occurrence of two pattern sets consistently decreased individually with progressing gestation (R2 = 0.38, CI 0.00-0.71 and R2 = 0.24, CI 0.02-0.68). The course over all fetuses was less consistent.
