چکیده

Studies on the physiology of the cardiovascular system suggested that the generation of the heart rate signal is governed by nonlinear chaotic dynamics. No study investigated the nonlinear dynamics of heart rate in hyperthyroidism. We examined whether the heart rate dynamics of hyperthyroid patients is different from normal controls by the nonlinear analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) with correlation dimension (CD). Thirty-three hyperthyroid Graves' disease patients (30 females and 3 males; age 31 +/- 1 years, means +/- SE) and 33 sex-, age-, and body mass index-matched normal controls were recruited to receive one-channel electrocardiogram recording for 30 min. The CD, an index of complexity, was computed from the sequence of normal R-R intervals by the Grassberger and Procaccia algorithm. Compared to the normal controls, the hyperthyroid patients showed significant reductions (P < 0.001) in the mean R-R interval (hyperthyroid 616 +/- 15 versus control 868 +/- 16 ms), the standard deviation of R-R intervals (25 +/- 2 versus 54 +/- 4 ms) and CD (5.02 +/- 0.11 versus 6.42 +/- 0.16). Our study demonstrated for the first time that hyperthyroid patients and normal controls could be distinguished by CD analysis of HRV. In addition, the decreased CD in hyperthyroid patients implies reduced complexity and impaired tolerance to cardiovascular stresses in hyperthyroidism. This finding helps to explain exercise intolerance and irritability manifested by the hyperthyroid patients.

A New Approach to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Symbolic Dynamics Analysis of Electrocardiogram Signal

The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...

The current study analyses the dynamics of the heart rate signals during specific psychological states in order to obtain a detailed understanding of the heart rate patterns during meditation. In the proposed approach, we used heart rate time series available in Physionet database. The dynamics of the signals are then analyzed before and during meditation by examining the recurrence quantificat...

Effect of endotoxemia on heart rate dynamics in rat isolated perfused hearts

Introduction: Beat-to-beat variation in heart rate shows a complex dynamics, and this complexity is changed during systemic inflammatory response syndrome (e.g. sepsis). It is not known whether or not cardiac pacemaker dynamical rhythm is affected by sepsis. The aim of this study was to investigate heart rate dynamics of isolated heart as well as expression of pacemaker channels (HCN) in a r...

Concurrent sympathetic activation and vagal withdrawal in hyperthyroidism: Evidence from detrended fluctuation analysis of heart rate variability

Despite many previous studies on the association between hyperthyroidism and the hyperadrenergic state, controversies still exist. Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a well recognizedmethod in the nonlinear analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), and it has physiological significance related to the autonomic nervous system. In particular, an increased short-termscaling exponentα1 calcula...
