Chronobiological Analysis of Blood Pressure in a Patient with Atrial Fibrillation at the Development of Heart Failure and Its Therapeutic and Surgical Treatment
Figure 4
Gliding spectra of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate during treatment of heart failure and cardiac surgery. Abscissa: time (calendar dates in 2010), ordinates: period length (hours), and applicate: areas corresponding to oscillations of equal power (η 2); blue: η 2 < 0.05, green: 0.05 > η 2 > 0.10, yellow: 0.10 > η 2 > 0.15, orange: 0.15 > η 2 > 0.20, red: 0.20 > η 2 > 0.25, and other colors: η 2 > 0.25. Main events: 1-2: healthy, 2–5: increasing heart failure, at the therapeutic clinic, 5-6: intensive therapeutic treatment, 6: finish intensive therapeutic treatment, 7: transferring to the surgical clinic, 8: pacemaker implanting, 9: atrium-ventricular ablation, and 10: discharge for home rehabilitation (numbers are the same as in Table 1).
