This is the fourth book of a series dealing with the computer analysis of blood pressure and heart rate variability.
The book, based on the contributions of leading experts, offers data on the latest developments in this challenging and rapidly evolving field. In particular, it provides information on the most recent technical progress in estimating spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity from the beat-to-beat analysis of blood pressure and heart rate signals and illustrates the potential diagnostic and prognostic value of this index in daily life. Furthermore, it focuses on the applications of the newest methods in the assessment of blood pressure and heart rate variability through linear and nonlinear techniques, descriptors of chaotic dynamics and time-frequency distributions. It also addresses the neural and non-neural physiological mechanisms responsible for blood pressure and heart rate time modulation and specifically focuses on the alterations in blood pressure and heart rate variability induced by the derangement of these mechanisms in case of cardiovascular or systemic diseases.
We do hope that the updated state of the art provided herein could represent a useful reference for engineers, physiologists and clinicians working in this stimulating area.
