Abstract:
In this paper an advanced algorithm based on G-P algorithm is introduced to calculate the Correlative Dimension (CD) of HRV signals. Moreover, Theiler's Correction is considered to avoid the autocorrelation effect of the time serials. It will reduce the possibility to get spurious dimension. The algorithm is applied to clinical HRV data which are collected from twelve young healthy subjects under two conditions: 1) normal state; 2) autonomic nervous system (ANS) being blocked by certain acute selective blocking drug: Atropine or Metoprolol. The result sufficiently shows that the values of CD decrease after blockade, whether Atropine or Metoprolol, is given to the subjects. The reason is that these two kinds of autonomic blocking drug lead to ANS dysfunction. Then the complexity of the heart system decreases. So we can draw a conclusion that the CD value of HRV signals can reflex the complexity of the heart system and the state of ANS.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...

Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
