Abstract:Methods from nonlinear dynamics have shown new insights into alterations of the cardiovascular system under various physiological and pathological conditions, and thus providing additional prognostic information. In this chapter prominent complexity methods of non-linear dynamics as symbolic dynamics, Poincaré plot analyses, and compression entropy are introduced and their algorithmic implementations and application examples in clinical trials are provided. Especially, we will give their basic theoretical back… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
