Wavelet Analysis of Blood Pressure Waves in Vasovagal Syncope
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the multiresolution wavelet analysis of blood pressure waves in vasovagal-syncope affected patients compared with healthy people. We argue that there exist discriminating criteria which allow us to isolate particular features, common to syncope-affected patients sample, indicating a tentative, alternative diagnosis methodology for this syndrome. We perform a throughout analysis both in the Haar basis and in a Gaussian one, with an attempt to grasp the underlying dynamics.

Multiscale analysis of blood pressure signals.
We describe the multiresolution wavelet analysis of blood pressure waves in vasovagal syncope-affected patients compared with those in healthy people, using Haar and Gaussian bases. A comparison between scale-dependent and scale-independent measures discriminating the two classes of subjects is made. What emerges is a sort of equivalence between these two methodological approaches, that is, bot...
متن کاملVasovagal Oscillations and Vasovagal Responses Produced by the Vestibulo-Sympathetic Reflex in the Rat
Sinusoidal galvanic vestibular stimulation (sGVS) induces oscillations in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR), i.e., vasovagal oscillations, as well as transient decreases in BP and HR, i.e., vasovagal responses, in isoflurane-anesthetized rats. We determined the characteristics of the vasovagal oscillations, assessed their role in the generation of vasovagal responses, and determined wheth...
متن کاملPrediction of Vasovagal Syncope based on Body Vigilance and Alexithymia Variables
Introduction: Vasovagal syncope is the most common type of syncope and recurrent syncope attacks can have a profound effect on the patients' quality of life. The aim of this study was to predict vasovagal syncope based on the variables of body vigilance and alexithymia. Methods: The present study was a case-control study. The statistical population of the present study included the patients wi...
متن کاملComplex demodulation of cardiorespiratory dynamics preceding vasovagal syncope.
BACKGROUND The dynamic autonomic processes leading to vasovagal syncope are poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS We used complex demodulation to continuously assess changes in respiration, R-R interval, and arterial pressure (blood pressure) variability during 60 degree head-up tilt in 25 healthy subjects with tilt-induced vasovagal syncope and 25 age-matched nonsyncopal control subjects. C...
متن کاملRecurrent Postural Vasovagal Syncope
Background—The pathophysiology of vasovagal syncope is poorly understood, and the treatment usually ineffective. Our clinical experience is that patients with vasovagal syncope fall into 2 groups, based on their supine systolic blood pressure, which is either normal ( 100 mm Hg) or low (70–100 mm Hg). We investigated neural circulatory control in these 2 phenotypes. Methods and Results—Sympathe...
