Abstract

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) series is a widely used, non-invasive, and easy-to-acquire time-resolved signal for evaluating autonomic control on cardiovascular activity. Despite the recognition that heartbeat dynamics contains both periodic and aperiodic components, the majority of HRV modeling studies concentrate on only one component. On the one hand, there are models based on self-similarity and 1/f behavior that focus on the aperiodic component; on the other hand, there is the conventional division of the spectral domain into narrow-band oscillations, which considers HRV as a combination of periodic components. Taking inspiration from a recent parametrization of EEG power spectra, here we evaluate the applicability of a unified modeling framework to quantitatively assess heartbeat dynamics spectra as a mixture of aperiodic and periodic components. The proposed model is applied on publicly-available, real HRV series collected during postural changes from 10 healthy subjects. Results show that the proposed modeling effectively characterizes different experimental conditions and may complement HRV standard analysis defined in the frequency domain.
