Mathematical method for a running spectrum analysis.

Abstract

An original mathematical approach for the Fourier (spectrum) analysis of event streams, characterizing biological systems, is given here. In graphics are shown the possibilities of isolating and displaying the dynamics (phase and amplitude) of diapasons, for interested researchers, e.g. example of Trouber-Hering slow waves with period 10-30 s and Mayers slow waves with period 30-90 s, in moments of functional testing. This approach is the basis for the construction of an adequate structural-functional numerical interacting model of any biological system; in monitoring for the control and measure of one influence of medicines.

Sleep state and vagal regulation of heart period patterns in the human newborn: an extension of the polyvagal theory.

The influence of sleep state (i.e., active and quiet) on heart period, heart period variability, respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), and the coupling between RSA and heart period was evaluated in 24 healthy full-term newborns. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data were collected, and sleep state was coded 1 hr after feeding until at least 10 min of data were collected in states of active and quiet sleep. ECG data were analyzed for the first five continuous minutes of each sleep state. Relative to active sleep, quiet sleep was associated with significantly higher amplitude RSA, lower heart period variability, and longer heart periods. Because RSA amplitude reflects the functional output of vagal pathways originating in the nucleus ambiguus, it was hypothesized that sleep state would influence how these vagal pathways regulate instantaneous changes in heart period. A new method, evaluating the instantaneous coupling of RSA and heart period, demonstrated that coupling was significantly greater during active sleep. The neurophysiological explanation extends the polyvagal theory to include potential cortical-brain stem connections.

Apparent bradycardia-dependent block in the accessory pathway in intermittent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

A case of intermittent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is reported, which is the first report of an apparent bradycardia-dependent block in the accessory pathway. When the P-P interval gradually lengthened to a critical value of 0.89 second or more, preexcitation failed to occur, but thereafter, when the P-P interval gradually shortened to 0.89 second or less, preexcitation again occurred. These findings seem to suggest that bradycardia-dependent block occurred in the accessory pathway. In the electrocardiogram taken on another day, however, when a ventricular extrasystole was followed by a compensatory pause, the ensuing QRS complex showed preexcitation, although the pause was markedly longer than the critical period of 0.89 second. This indicates that this case is not one of true bradycardia-dependent block in the accessory pathway. Rather, the effect occurred because increased vagal tone depressed conductivity in the accessory pathway to a greater degree than automaticity in the sinus node.

Unexpected recurrence of sinus rhythm in chronic atrial fibrillation due to sick sinus disease.

A 60-years old patient with symptomatic sick sinus disease was implanted a dual-chamber pacemaker that did well during the following 13 years. Thereafter, the pacemaker had to be explanted because of a systemic infection, with the patient in constant chronic atrial fibrillation in the meantime. After another asymptomatic year, 6 arrhythmogenic syncopes occurred, apparently due to pre-automatic pauses prior to spontaneous conversions to sinus rhythm. Subsequently, the patient was implanted a VVI pacemaker, whereupon he did well henceforth. This case demonstrates the possibility of recurrence of sinus rhythm even after long-standing chronic atrial fibrillation.
