Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Sleep Science
Physiology

Background:

Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for sleep staging but involves complex, intrusive electrode placement.
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) activity, reflected in Heart Rate Variability (HRV), changes with sleep stages.
A less intrusive method for monitoring HRV during sleep is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel system for detecting heartbeats during sleep using bed-installed load-cell sensors.
To analyze Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and its relationship with sleep stages using this new system.
To assess the potential of this system as a non-invasive tool for sleep quality evaluation.

Main Methods:

A new system utilizing bed-installed load-cell sensors to detect heart pulsations (ballistocardiogram) was developed.
The system was validated against polysomnography in 4 subjects during overnight sleep.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) parameters, specifically the LF/HF ratio, were analyzed for different sleep stages.

Main Results:

The developed system successfully detected heartbeats and acquired HRV data during sleep.
The LF/HF ratio, an indicator of Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) balance, showed variations corresponding to different sleep stages.
Results demonstrated the system's capability to reflect physiological changes associated with sleep.

Conclusions:

The bed-installed load-cell sensor system provides a non-invasive method for monitoring heartbeats and analyzing HRV during sleep.
This system shows promise as a simpler, more comfortable alternative to traditional polysomnography for assessing sleep quality and ANS activity.
Further validation comparing HRV from this system with electrocardiogram (ECG) data is planned.
