Abstract
We made use of multivariate nonlinear analysis methods to study the interdependence between the cardiac interval variability and both the respiratory activity and the systolic pressure in rats. The study was carried out in basal conditions and after the application of different drugs affecting the cardiovascular system. The results showed that there are changes both in the extent and in the directionality of such interdependences because of the drugs. The inhibition of the NO and the parasympathetic blockade changed the cardiovascular coordination, with the latter one also modifying the interdependence between the cardiac interval and the respiratory signal. This suggests that the nonlinear approach might be very helpful to explore the interaction between subsystems of the cardiovascular control system.
