Abstract:
The practical problems are explored of determining the dimension of the phase space set generated from real, experimental and simulated data of the times between consecutive heartbeats in normal and diseased rabbits. It is determined how different measures of dimension have depended on the procedures used to construct the phase space set and on such properties of the data as the amount of data, noise, long-term trends and stationarity. Reproducible estimates of the dimensions of different physiological states are found to require considerable amounts of data recorded under stationary conditions.

Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate...

Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage. When...
