A Heartbeat-Interval Time Series Analysis, Modified Detrended Fluctuation Analysis, mDFA, Distinguishes between Stressed- and Happy-Heartbeats: From Invertebrate Animals to Humans
Toru Yazawa
Abstract:This study provides evidence that a time series analysis (modified detrended fluctuation analysis, mDFA) is practically distinguish happy- and stressed hearts. This endures that the scaling exponent (scaling index, SI, or alpha, α) can characterize the state of heartbeats. We learned from various challenges of case studies; for example, the Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome yields a high SI (way surpass 2.0) while feeling sick condition, but the same heart exhibits a healthy SI (∼1.0) when the heartbeats return t… Show more
