Heart Rate Variability: On the Importance to Perform HRV Analysis in Subjects Affected from Muscular Dystrophy

Abstract

This paper discusses a case of muscular dystrophy on which it has been performed HRV analysis. The results that we obtain evidence that the subject delineates a net ANS dysfunction. All the basic parameters relating standard time and frequency domain of HRV analysis result profoundly altered. Examination by Poicaré plot evidences in particular that the subject has an atrial fibrillation. Non linear indexes ApEn and Samp En evidence the very high condition of risk of the subject. The merging indication is for the cardiologist and scholars in cardiovascular disease to perform always ANS investigation in subjects in case of muscular dystrophy. After the NPT treatment, the subject obtains a net improvement.

Verification of the Validity of the NPT Treatment in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: An Investigation Performed by Application of Random Matrix Theory

“…The sEMG recorded signals in six different regions of interest evidence that we are in presnece of fluctuations in the recorede muscular activities and we have so serious difficulties tio establish if such fluctuations still hidden some kind of correlation and of coherence among the transitions of the subsequent states of the muscular activities or if, on the contrary, they still exhibit some kind of correlation that of course it results impossible to establish by visual inspection as well as with traditional analytical methods. As said, we know that in normal conditions continuous chaos-chaos as well as chaos-order transitions are realized during muscular-neurological activity and the NPT treatment has the office to recover and improve such chaotic self-rearrangements in condition of pathology [47]- [51]; in the present case our objective is now to evidence the results that we obtained after the application of the RMT method in order to verify if the NPT treatment induced or not improvements in the subject.…”

“…As also said pre-viously the subject was submitted to the NPT treatment. We repeat that this is a treatment that we have considered repeatedly in a number of our previous papers [47]- [51]. Always it gave us very satisfactory results when we examined it under the clinical profile, under the profile of the subjective improvement of the subject and, finally, under the profile of its examination by our advanced linear and non linear methodlogies of investigation.…”

“…We selected to apply such RMT method just to examine and to verify the validity of this NPT treatment. We selected a disease that is one of the most severe pathologies, the case of the Hereditary Spastic Paraplegy (HSP) just to establish with the most accurate method if such NPT treatment is able to give improvements also in this case in addition to the cases of muscular dystrophy that we studied previously [47]- [51]. The results that we have obtained evidence without doubts that this NPT treatment represents a very encouraging advance not only in the field of the treatment in itself but substantially also in the foundations that it implies and recalling the dynamics of chaos and /or quantum chaos as well as the central role of the ANS component acting in a determinant mode on all the neuromuscular pathologies.…”

“…We evidenced in detail that such sEMG signal is marked but an intense set of interactions engaging a lot of chaos-chaos transitions as well as chaos m-order transitions in a regime of continuous self-arrangement and self-reorganization. We will not enter in the details here but we invite the reader to examine in details our previous contributions [47]- [51]. In these conditions, it should represent certainly a great clinical and medical advance if we could introduce a new method able to discriminate in detail such previously mentioned nature of the involved dynamics.…”

“…This is of course a neurophysical treatment that has been introduced by the first time from one of us (KW) and that has been explained in detail in our previous papers where we had the possibility to demonstrate the improvemenets that it induces when treating cases of muscular dystrophy. In such previous papers [47]- [51] we explained in detail also the theoretcial foundations of such based NPT method evidencing that they are based on vhaos theory and in particular in the rearrangemenet that is induced from the NPT in the continuous chaos-chaos transitions and chaos-chaos and chaos-order induced dynamics. Follow uing the NPT treatment, the patient was also able to systematically relax, there was an immediate relaxation of very long term HSP symptoms.…”
