description

The study of cardiovascular dynamics is pivotal in the prevention and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases. Pulse Arrival Time (PAT) series contain information concerning not only the dynamics of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), but of all the systems involved in the regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis. This study aims to highlight how indexes extracted from PAT series in time-, frequency- and information-domain allow to discriminate among different physiological conditions. Analyses were carried out on 76 young healthy subjects, at rest and during orthostatic or mental stress. Our results show that PAT indexes vary according to the ANS condition, and may thus be useful parameters for the classification of physiological stress.
