Analysis of microvascular blood flow and oxygenation: Discrimination between two haemodynamic steady states using nonlinear measures and multiscale analysis

摘要

Objective: This study investigates the feasibility of the use of nonlinear complexity methods as a tool to identify altered microvascular function often associated with pathological conditions. We evaluate the efficacy of multiscale nonlinear complexity methods to account for the multiple time-scales of processes modulating micro vascular network perfusion.
