| Abstract [eng] |
The dynamics of the collapse of complexity observable in the performance of the cardiovascular system during the stress test is investigated in this paper. For this purpose, the interplay between the RR and JT cardiac intervals is measured and assessed for each participant. This case study involves a modest sample size of eight individuals with normal and elevated blood pressure. Although it is anticipated that the interaction between the RR and JT intervals is rather complex during the stress test, the existence of interpretable time delays between those cardiac intervals is demonstrated using the time delayed patterns algorithm. The assessment of the cardiovascular mobilization taking place during the stress test is also an integral part of this study. The velocity of adaptation index Ad and the newly formulated modified adaptation index Ar (computed only for the recovery phase) are used to quantify the healthy mobilization of the cardiovascular system for each participant. The time frequency analysis of the difference signal between the RR and JT intervals is used to quantify the collapse of complexity around the load termination point. Finally, a semi-gauge indication tool is constructed to assess the overall goodness of the self-organization of the cardiovascular system during the stress test. |
