Abstract:
|
We propose a new and very fast index (the frequency
of sign changes of the mirrored differences or fscmd) with
good correlation with the short range scaling exponent
(
R) estimated among scales 4 to 16 of the DFA. fscmd
computes the relative number of sign changes of the
difference of the RR time series minus their
corresponding reversed RR time series after a moving
average detrending procedure is applied using a window
of 30 samples. Linear regression results with simulated
time series with Fractional Brownian Noise and with
actual time series using the Fantasia (FT), Normal Sinus
Rhythm RR time series (NSR) and Congestive Heart
Failure RR interval (CHF) databases after artifact
correction show good agreement between fscmd and
R.
Finally, Mann-Whitney Rank Sum tests applied to
R and
fscmd when comparing NSR and CHF databases show
very significant differences (p<0.001) between groups for
both indices. |
