• Abstract

  One of the major challenges associated with Chagas' disease (CD) is the identification of the factors that lead individuals in the indeterminate form (IFCD) of the disease to evolve to the cardiac (CFCD) or digestive (DFCD) forms. The Rassi score, in spite of identifying the risk of death in chronically infected patients, is applicable only for patients already affected by the CFCD. On th…

• Abstract

  The study of cardiovascular variability, such as heart rate variability (HRV), is of great importance since it allows, in an indirect way, the assessment of cardiovascular autonomic function. Commonly, the HRV is represented by the oscillations of cardiac intervals over time, and classical methods for evaluation of these oscillations include time and frequency domain parameters. In the fr…

• Abstract

  This project aims to develop and evaluate new methods for heart rate signal analysis based on non-extensive statistics. Non-extensive statistics is a new theory from statistical mechanics that appears more suitable for systems with long-term memory, long-range interaction or multi-fractal phase space. A previous study has explored the basis of non-extensive entropy rates applied to heart …
