Abstract

We discuss multiple-time scale properties of neuralphysiological control mechanisms, using heart rate regulation as a model system. We find that scaling exponents can be used as prognostic indicators. Furthermore, detection of more subtle degradation of scaling properties may provide a novel early warning system in subjects with a variety of pathologies including those at high risk of sudden death.
