Wavelet Analysis of Blood Pressure Waves in Vasovagal Syncope

Biological Physics 2009-10-31 v2 Medical Physics q-bio

Abstract

We describe the multiresolution wavelet analysis of blood pressure waves in vasovagal syncope affected patients compared with healthy people. We argue that there exist discriminating criteria which allow us to isolate particular features, common to the syncope-affected patients sample, indicating an alternative diagnosis methodology for this syndrome. We perform a throughout analysis both in the Haar basis and in a Gaussian one, with an attempt to grasp the underlying dynamics.
