The present meta-analysis aimed to quantify current evidence on sex differences in the
autonomic control of the heart, indexed by measures of heart rate variability (HRV) in healthy …

An important challenge in respiration related studies is to investigate the influence of
external stimuli on human respiration. Auditory stimulus is an important type of stimuli that …

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a neurohormonal disorder that causes persistent
negative thoughts, mood and feelings, often accompanied with suicidal ideation (SI). Current …

Background: We developed CEPS as an open access MATLAB® GUI (graphical user
interface) for the analysis of Complexity and Entropy in Physiological Signals (CEPS), and …

The properties of cardio-respiratory coupling (CRC) are affected by various pathological
conditions related to the cardiovascular and/or respiratory systems. In heart failure, one of …

The influence of deep controlled respiration on cardiovascular oscillations in 13 healthy
young volunteers was studied. A measurement system comprising electrocardiography …

We investigated cardio-respiratory coupling in patients with heart failure by quantification of
bidirectional interactions between cardiac (RR intervals) and respiratory signals with …

It is known that in pathological conditions, physiological systems develop changes in the
multiscale properties of physiological signals. However, in real life, little is known about how …

Vasomotion (rhythmic changes in arteriolar diameter) is believed to enhance tissue
perfusion at low oxygenation levels. We hypothesized that slow breathing and vasomotion …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia commonly encountered in clinical
practice. There is a high risk of thromboembolism in patients with AF. Nonlinear analyses …
