To investigate heart rate and its variability, a telemetry device was affixed to 16 healthy, young cats. Prior to inclusion in the study, cats were subject to echocardiographic examination. The heart rate (HR) when cats were restrained for echocardiography (HRr) was calculated from 4–5 consecutive RR intervals obtained from a simultaneously recorded electrocardiogram. Electrocardiographic data were then acquired by telemetry in a quiet room in the veterinary hospital (VTH) and later, in the owner's home (home). The ambulatory data were digitally sampled and the RR interval tachogram from a 4 min epoch subject to Fast Fourier Transform to yield measures of heart rate variability (HRV). Sinus arrhythmia was often observed in resting cats. Heart rates (bpm) expressed as mean (±SD) were: HRr: 187 (±25), HRVTH: 150 (±23), HRhome: 132 (±19); each of these rates was significantly different from the others. Significant differences in profiles of HRV suggested that sympathetic tone was higher (and parasympathetic tone lower) when cats were in the hospital.

Introducción. La corteza cerebral frontal tiene una mayor actividad teta durante procesos cognitivos de observación y aprendizaje.Objetivo. Establecer la relación entre actividad electroencefalográfica orbitofrontal y sistema nervioso autónomo en procesos cognitivos.Materiales y métodos. 20 hombres y 19 mujeres con edad promedio de 21.2 (±2.32) años fueron evaluados mediante electroencefalografía (EGG) FP1-T3, FP2-T4 y electrocardiografía (EKG, del alemán elektrokardiogramm) para determinar frecuencia cardíaca (HR, del inglés heart rate) y variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca (HRV, del inglés heart rate variability). La evaluación tuvo cinco fases: reposo, observación, memoria, concentración y juego. Las señales de EGG y EKG fueron analizadas en el dominio de la frecuencia usando la transformada rápida de Fourier (FFT, del inglés fast Fourier transform). Las diferencias por etapa entre las variables se establecieron con el uso de ANOVA de dos vías.Resultados. Comparado con el reposo, se observó en todas las fases incremento de la actividad teta del EGG (p<0.01), aumento en la baja frecuencia LF (p<0.01) y la HR (p<0.01) y disminución de la alta frecuencia HF (p<0.01). Además, hubo una correlación inversa entre la actividad teta y la potencia de HF (r=-0.86).Conclusiones. Los datos mostraron una reducción de la actividad parasimpática y un aumento de la actividad simpática asociado a actividad teta de la corteza orbitofrontal, mediante una conexión con el núcleo central de la amígdala.

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze whether the algorithm used for the heart rate variability assessment (fast Fourier transform versus autoregressive methods) influenced its association with cardiovascular risk factors in male adolescents. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1,152 male adolescents (aged 14 to 19 years). The low frequency, high frequency components (absolute numbers and normalized units), low frequency/high frequency ratio, and total power of heart rate variability parameters were obtained using the fast Fourier transform and autoregressive methods, while the adolescents were resting in a supine position. Results All heart rate variability parameters calculated from both methods were different (p<0.05). However, a low effect size (<0.1) was found for all parameters. The intra-class correlation between methods ranged from 0.96 to 0.99, whereas the variation coefficient ranged from 7.4 to 14.8%. Furthermore, waist circumference was negatively associated with high frequency, and positively associated with low frequency and sympatovagal balance (p<0.001 for both fast Fourier transform and autoregressive methods in all associations). Systolic blood pressure was negatively associated with total power and high frequency, whereas it was positively associated with low frequency and sympatovagal balance (p<0.001 for both fast Fourier transform and autoregressive methods in all associations). Body mass index was negatively associated with high frequency, while it was positively associated with low frequency and sympatovagal balance (p values ranged from <0.001 to 0.007). Conclusion There are significant differences in heart rate variability parameters obtained with the fast Fourier transform and autoregressive methods in male adolescent; however, these differences are not clinically significant.

The Difference

Background: Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is associated with better health in children.Aim: The study was conducted to analyze the trajectory of RSA in 10-year-olds.Methods: A follow-up study on 120 healthy children (62 boys) aged 10.7 ± 0.5 years consisted of a standard 12-lead electrocardiogram, measurements of height, weight and blood pressure. The protocol was repeated after 3 years. Assessment of RSA based on semi-automatic measurements of RR intervals included: the difference between the longest and shortest RR interval duration (pvRSA), the root mean square of differences between successive RR intervals (RMSSD), the standard deviation of the RR interval length (SDNN) and their equivalents corrected for heart rate (RMSSDc and SDNNc).Results: A the first visit 61.7% of children presented with RSA; 51.7% 3 years later. 23.3% of them had RSA only on the first examination; 13.3% only on the second one. The pvRSA, RMSSD, and SDNN measured in 2019 did not differ significantly from their 2016 equivalents (p &gt; 0.05). The decline in RSA defined by RMSSD was noted in 52.5% of children and in 54.2% when defined by SDNN. The corrected values decreased in 68.3 and 64.2% of the participants for RMSSDc and SDNNc, respectively. The students with RSA at both visits had lower heart rate (p &lt; 0.001) and systolic blood pressure (p = 0.010) compared to those with rhythmic electrocardiograms.Conclusions: RSA in children is changeable, though its measurable indices should be adjusted to heart rate.

In this study, we propose a method to classify individuals under stress and those without stress using k-means clustering. After extracting the R and S peak values from the ECG signal, the heart rate variability is extracted using a fast Fourier transform. Then, a criterion for classifying the ECG signal for the stress state is set, and the stress state is classified through k-means clustering. In addition, the stress level is indicated using the 𝐑 − 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 value. This method is expected to be applied to the U-healthcare field to help manage the mental health of people suffering from stress.
