• TITLE: Analyse non linéaire de signaux cardiologiques en vue d'applications cliniques
• AUTHOR: P.-A. Absil
• ABSTRACT:
  This work is dedicated to the study of cardiac rhythm. It results from a collaboration with the Cardiology and Neurology Departments at Liège University Hospital. The applications considered are essentially twofold: on the one hand, prognosis regarding the health of patients suffering from congestive heart failure, through studying long range correlations and scale invariance in their cardiac rhythm; one the other hand, diagnosis of sleep apnea by means of a dedicated processing of the patient's cardiac rhythm. Both studies are based on the so-called RR signal, i.e., the sequence of time intervals between successive ventricular contractions.
