[The analysis of heart rate stability at stressor loads by method of mathematical modeling]
Abstract:
This study presents a mathematical model that enables to investigate the stability of heart rate dynamics at stressor loads. The model is based on quantitative characteristics of impulse conduction in the heart conducting system. Stressor load is modeled by fast neuronal imputation arriving on sinoatrial node. The model describes the phenomena observed at gradual increase of stressor intensity. Existence of a critical point of transition of heart rate dynamics from a stable (linear) to an unstable (chaotic) mode was demonstrated. The present model provides a unified platform for investigating stability of heart rate dynamics.

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Stress: General Loading Conditions
The shearing force, possessing potential directionality within the plane of the section, is simplified into two component forces running parallel to the x and y axes.
Factors Influencing Heart Rate
Let us explore the significant factors affecting heart rate, including age, body temperature, posture, acute pain, chemical influences,...
