A Predictive and Preventative Computation for the diagnosis of the Heartbeat Control Systems: DFA for the Risk of Mortality in Both, Animal Models and Humans

摘要

We analyzed the heartbeat interval by the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) in models and humans. In models, the myocardium of the healthy heart contracted regularly. The deteriorated heart model, however, showed alternating beats so-called "altemans." The DFA revealed that if the heart is having "altemans" exhibited there is a declined scaling exponent (~0.5). In humans, the heart that had "altemans" also showed a low scaling exponent (~0.6). We consider that the coexistence of "altemans" and a low scaling exponent can be a risk marker in predictive and preventative diagnosis, supporting the idea that "altemans" can be a harbinger of sudden death.
