[Cross-spectral analysis of the stroke blood volume oscillations and R-R interval duration among men during different
Abstract:
The correlation of the stroke blood volume oscillations and the R-R interval duration was investigated among 125 healthy young men at rest, with controlled breathing, at tilt test, with mental and physical loadings with the help of the cross-spectral analysis. Maximums and minimums of the cross-spectral power for these indexes were found to be groupped in three frequency ranges: 0-0.04 Hz, 0.07-0.13 Hz and 0.15-0.4 Hz. The positive tops of the cross-spectral power had the biggest amplitude in the 0-0.04 Hz, 0.07-0.13 Hz frequency ranges in the most conditions; negative tops stipulated with breathing--in the 0.15-0.4 Hz frequency ranges. The structure of the cross-periodgrams changed reliably with different loadings if compared with lying position at rest. The maximum top amplitude of the cross-periodgram was reproduced at the largest extent with repeated changes in 235 +/- 31 days in the ranges of 0.07-0.13 Hz, having median frequency of 0.09-0.01 Hz in all conditions.

Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...
Regulation of Stroke Volume
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
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...
