Multifractal age? Multifractal analysis of cardiac interbeat intervals in assessing of healthy aging
نویسندگان
چکیده
24-hour Holter recordings of 124 healthy people at different age are studied. The nocturnal signals of young people reveal the presence of the multiplicative structure. This structure is significantly weaker in diurnal signals and becomes less evident for elderly people. Multifractal analysis allows us to propose qualitative and quantitative methods to estimate the advancement of the aging process for healthy humans.

Influence of progressive central hypovolemia on multifractal dimension of cardiac interbeat intervals
We analyzed the heartbeat time series of 12 human subjects exposed to progressive central hypovolemia with lower body negative pressure. Two data processing techniques based on wavelet transforms were used to determine the change in the non-stationary nature of the time series with changing negative pressure. Our results suggest that autonomic neural mechanisms driving cardiac interbeat interva...
متن کاملMultifractality and scale invariance in human heartbeat dynamics.
Human heart rate is known to display complex fluctuations. Evidence of multifractality in heart rate fluctuations in healthy state has been reported [Ivanov, Nature (London) 399, 461 (1999)]. This multifractal character could be manifested as the dependence of the probability density functions (PDFs) of the interbeat interval increments, which are the differences in two interbeat intervals that...
متن کاملMultifractality of the heartbeat dynamics after beating heart myocardial revascularization
Background Recent studies suggest that time series of healthy human interbeat intervals belong to a special class of bio-signals displaying multifractal properties. The breakdown of multifractality was observed in congestive heart failure and angina pectoris; however, there has been no attempt to evaluate multifractal behavior before and after beating heart myocardial revascularization (off-pum...
متن کاملStatistical physics and physiology: monofractal and multifractal approaches.
Even under healthy, basal conditions, physiologic systems show erratic fluctuations resembling those found in dynamical systems driven away from a single equilibrium state. Do such "nonequilibrium" fluctuations simply reflect the fact that physiologic systems are being constantly perturbed by external and intrinsic noise? Or, do these fluctuations actually, contain useful, "hidden" information ...
متن کاملMultifractal analysis of normal RR heart-interbeat signals in power spectra ranges
Power spectral density is an accepted measure of heart rate variability. Two estimators of multifractal properties: Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima and Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis are used to investigate multifractal properties for the three strongly physiologically grounded components of power spectra: low frequency (LF), very low frequency (VLF) and ultra low frequency (ULV)....
