Heart rate variability (HRV; variability of the RR interval of the electrocardiogram) results from the activity of several coexisting control mechanisms, which involve the influence of respiration (RESP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) oscillations operating across multiple temporal scales and changing in different physiological states. In this study, multiscale information decomposition is used to dissect the physiological mechanisms related to the genesis of HRV in 78 young volunteers monitored at rest and during postural and mental stress evoked by head-up tilt (HUT) and mental arithmetics (MA). After representing RR, RESP and SBP at different time scales through a recently proposed method based on multivariate state space models, the joint information transfer T RESP , SBP → RR is decomposed into unique, redundant and synergistic components, describing the strength of baroreflex modulation independent of respiration ( U SBP → RR ), nonbaroreflex ( U RESP → RR ) and baroreflex-mediated ( R RESP , SBP → RR ) respiratory influences, and simultaneous presence of baroreflex and nonbaroreflex respiratory influences ( S RESP , SBP → RR ), respectively. We find that fast (short time scale) HRV oscillations—respiratory sinus arrhythmia—originate from the coexistence of baroreflex and nonbaroreflex (central) mechanisms at rest, with a stronger baroreflex involvement during HUT. Focusing on slower HRV oscillations, the baroreflex origin is dominant and MA leads to its higher involvement. Respiration influences independent on baroreflex are present at long time scales, and are enhanced during HUT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HEART beat , *BLOOD pressure , *ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY , *GOLD standard , *PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAPHY - Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis represents an important tool for the characterization of complex cardiovascular control. HRV indexes are usually calculated from electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings after measuring the time duration between consecutive R peaks, and this is considered the gold standard. An alternative method consists of assessing the pulse rate variability (PRV) from signals acquired through photoplethysmography, a technique also employed for the continuous noninvasive monitoring of blood pressure. In this work, we carry out a thorough analysis and comparison of short-term variability indexes computed from HRV time series obtained from the ECG and from PRV time series obtained from continuous blood pressure (CBP) signals, in order to evaluate the reliability of using CBP-based recordings in place of standard ECG tracks. The analysis has been carried out on short time series (300 beats) of HRV and PRV in 76 subjects studied in different conditions: resting in the supine position, postural stress during 45° head-up tilt, and mental stress during computation of arithmetic test. Nine different indexes have been taken into account, computed in the time domain (mean, variance, root mean square of the successive differences), frequency domain (low-to-high frequency power ratio LF/HF, HF spectral power, and central frequency), and information domain (entropy, conditional entropy, self entropy). Thorough validation has been performed using comparison of the HRV and PRV distributions, robust linear regression, and Bland-Altman plots. Results demonstrate the feasibility of extracting HRV indexes from CBP-based data, showing an overall relatively good agreement of time-, frequency-, and information-domain measures. The agreement decreased during postural and mental arithmetic stress, especially with regard to band-power ratio, conditional, and self-entropy. This finding suggests to use caution in adopting PRV as a surrogate of HRV during stress conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While cross-spectral and information-theoretic approaches are widely used for the multivariate analysis of physiological time series, their combined utilization is far less developed in the literature. This study introduces a framework for the spectral decomposition of multivariate information measures, which provides frequencyspecific quantifications of the information shared between a target and two source time series and of its expansion into amounts related to how the sources contribute to the target dynamics with unique, redundant and synergistic information. The framework is illustrated in simulations of linearly interacting stochastic processes, showing how it allows us to retrieve amounts of information shared by the processes within specific frequency bands which are otherwise not detectable by time-domain information measures, as well as coupling features which are not detectable by spectral measures. Then, it is applied to the time series of heart period, systolic and diastolic arterial pressure and respiration variability measured in healthy subjects monitored in the resting supine position and during head-up tilt. We show that the spectral measures of unique, redundant and synergistic information shared by these variability series, integrated within specific frequency bands of physiological interest and reflect the mechanisms of short-term regulation of cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory oscillations and their alterations induced by the postural stress.

The fraction of repolarization variability independent of RR interval variability is of clinical interest. It has been linked to direct autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation of the ventricles in healthy subjects and seems to reflect the instability of the ventricular repolarization process in heart disease. In this study, we sought to identify repolarization measures that best reflect the sympathetic influences on the ventricles independent of the RR interval. ECG was recorded in 46 young subjects during supine and then following 45 degrees head-up tilt. RR intervals and five repolarization features (QTend, QTpeak, RTend, RTpeak, and TpTe) were extracted from the ECG recordings. Repolarization variability was separated into RR-dependent and RR-independent variability using parametric spectral analysis. Results show that LF power of TpTe is independent of RR in both supine and tilt, while the LF power of QTend and RTend independent of RR and respiration increases following tilt. We conclude that TpTe is independent of RR and is highly affected by respiration. QTend and RTend LF power might reflect the sympathetic influences on the ventricles elicited by tilt.

The objective of this study was to determine the response of heart rate and blood pressure variability (respiratory sinus arrhythmia, baroreflex sensitivity) to orthostatic and mental stress, focusing on causality and the mediating effect of respiration. Seventy-seven healthy young volunteers (46 women, 31 men) aged 18.4 ± 2.7 yr underwent an experimental protocol comprising supine rest, 45° head-up tilt, recovery, and a mental arithmetic task. Heart rate variability and blood pressure variability were analyzed in the time and frequency domain and modeled as a multivariate autoregressive process where the respiratory volume signal acted as an external driver. During head-up tilt, tidal volume increased while respiratory rate decreased. During mental stress, breathing rate increased and tidal volume was elevated slightly. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia decreased during both interventions. Baroreflex function was preserved during orthostasis but was decreased during mental stress. While sex differences were not observed during baseline conditions, cardiovascular response to orthostatic stress and respiratory response to mental stress was more prominent in men compared with women. The respiratory response to the mental arithmetic tasks was more prominent in men despite a significantly higher subjectively perceived stress level in women. In conclusion, respiration shows a distinct response to orthostatic versus mental stress, mediating cardiovascular variability; it needs to be considered for correct interpretation of heart rate and blood pressure phenomena.

A wobble board (WB) is a balance rehabilitation tool that is used in physiotherapy to improve strength and stability. The WB tested in this study includes a sensory module for measuring patients’ tilt and rotation during stance. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of a balance measurement using a WB. Thirty healthy young adults participated in this study. The participants stood on the WB to simultaneously record the tilt of the WB and the center of pressure data using a force plate. The data were recorded during five measurement sessions on various days, with four trials each. Sways, velocities and indexes of complexity (CI) were computed. For reliability assessment, we used intra-class correlation coefficients within and between sessions; for validity, we computed Spearman correlation coefficients. The velocities and CI showed good intra-session reliability, and the sways showed mostly poor intra-session reliability. The results of inter-session reliability showed good to excellent reliability for CI, poor reliability for sways and poor to good reliability for velocities. The Spearman correlation coefficient showed excellent agreement between the mean velocities computed from the force plate and the WB. Our results confirm that the WB tested is suitable for stability assessment in young adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
