Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyzed heart rate variability obtained from RR interval of ECG by using the independent component analysis from the viewpoint of the information theory. As results, we found the difference of filter (code) distribution in time-frequency domain between healthy and non-healthy persons; uniform distribution from 0 Hz to 0.5 Hz for healthy persons while localized in low frequency of 0.15 Hz for sleep apnea and heart failure. This shows a possibility of computer aided diagnosis of cardiac failures. Also we found that the dimension of coding decreases from healthy to non-healthy. This reduction is considered as that of information processing ability of heart. Thus we have obtained useful knowledge about autonomic cardiac regulation and its medical diagnosis.
