The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of more can objective reaction heart rate variability process in ambulatory electrocardiogram and the heart rate variability check and analysis method of nonlinear characteristic, and provide a kind of detecting instrument corresponding to the principle of the said method non-linear index of heart rate variability clear, simple in structure.
Heart rate variability check and analysis method is called premeasure PI (Predictability Index) detection method in the ambulatory electrocardiogram that the present invention proposes, promptly the analyzing and testing index of premeasure PI as heart rate variability.The check and analysis method of premeasure PI is as follows: (1) utilizes K hour core signal ECG of dynamic electrocardiogram instrument record; (2) with core signal ECG playback in computer of gathering, wherein consider links such as filtering, digital signal compression, thereby show K hour dynamic electrocardiogram waveform; (3) based on artificial auxiliary automatic identification dynamic electrocardiogram RR interval down, formation time series RRi={ ri1, ri2..., rij... rin, i=1 wherein, 2 ..., K; (4) based on the jerk (being as the criterion) at the automatic identification dynamic electrocardiogram R peak under artificial the assisting, constitute time series RL with horizontal base linei={ li1, li2..., lij... lin, i=1 wherein, 2 ..., K; (5) time series by above-mentioned record, the value of the nonlinear prediction degree PI of the corresponding heart rate variability of analysis to measure.Above-mentioned this nonlinear prediction degree index is based on fully sets up suitable theoretical model and strict computational methods.Below we provide the correlation model and the computational methods of this index.
The horal RR interval time series RR that we will obtaini(i=1,2 ..., K) front and back are divided into two sections, i.e. RRi=LRRIn/2∪ TRRIn/2, and the order of sequence remains unchanged in every section.Wherein, LRRIn/2Be used to construct nonlinear model as guidance section (Supervised-Part), and TRRIn/2(Test-Part) is used to calculate premeasure as detection segment, and K is dynamic electrocardiogram writing time, and the general value of K is the natural number between the 20-32, gets K=24 usually, is diel.After the Nonlinear Mechanism in fully taking into account dynamic electrocardiogram RR interval time series, we can set up following nonlinear mapping (function) relation:
Φ:RRimLRRin/2Rm→R
Portray dynamic electrocardiogram RR interval seasonal effect in time series front and back iterative relation.Wherein, from the natural number of the general value of spatial dimension m between 10-50 under the variable vector.In order to construct this many-to-one nonlinear function Φ, utilize the function approximation principle, we have provided following algorithm, are limited in dynamic heart rate interval time series LRR in the hope of obtaining nonlinear function ΦIn/2On approximate expression ξ.
So we suppose that at first approximate expression ξ has following form:
Wherein, symbol " ο " representative function compound, for any j=1,2 ..., h, each functionZ especially0p=xp, p=1,2 ..., m; And
k=1,2,…,mj,j=1,2,…,h,
Wherein, wJkpBe weight coefficient, δJkBe the threshold value coefficient, be designated as weight coefficient w equallyJk0, constant-1 is designated as normal value input zJ-1,0Function f is the Sigmoid class function, for example can get work: f (x)=tanh (θ x),θ be value in interval (0,1] on attenuation parameter.If can determine weight coefficient wJkpValue, we have also just constructed approximate function ξ come out so.
Below, we will be according to the dynamic electrocardiogram RR time series LRR of intervalIn/2Provide and determine weight coefficient wJkpA kind of method, thereby determine the expression formula of function ξ, construct the nonlinear mapping model.
(1) initialize: utilize random function to generate weight coefficient w at randomJkpInitial value (initial value that comprises the threshold parameter that is designated as weight coefficient), attenuation parameter θ elects the real number on the interval (0,1) as;
(2) with LRRIn/2In electrocardio sequence riP+1, riP+2..., rP+m(p=0,1,2 ... n/2-m-1) as the initial value input of m the independent variable of function ξ, so, can obtain (n/2-m) individual value: y of function ξ according to formula (1.1), (1.2) and (1.3)P+m+1(p=0,1,2 ... n/2-m-1);
(3) be calculated as follows error function:
Y wherein*P+m+1=riP+m+1
(4) for weight coefficient wJkpGiven iterative increment Δ wJkp, and put w*Jkp=wJkp+ Δ wJkp, calculate (n/2-m) individual value and the error function of corresponding function ξ by step (2), (3), and remember that the value that error function thus provides is Newerror;
(5) if Newerror<Olderror puts w soJkp=w*Jkp, Olderror=Newerror, and to turning to step (4); Otherwise turn to step (6);
(6) put w*Jkp=wJkp-Δ wJkp, calculate (n/2-m) individual value and the error function of corresponding function ξ by step (2), (3), and remember that the value that error function thus provides is Newerror;
(7) if Newerror<Olderror puts w so earlierJkp=w*Jkp, Olderror=Newerror.And then turn to step (4); Otherwise, directly turn to step (4);
(8), obtain the optimum relatively { w of gang through the multiple cycles iterationJkp.We just can be limited in dynamic heart rate interval time series LRR by constructed fuction Φ like thisIn/2On approximate expression ξ.
We know, the regulating system of cardiac rhythm itself is a nonlinear system, and normal person's autonomic nervous system (comprising sympathetic nerve and vagus nerve) to external world variation and the stimulation of environment be relative responsive, so the function phi that constructs is limited in dynamic heart rate interval time series LRRIn/2On approximate expression ξ can accurately reflect is LRRIn/2System features on time period, and be limited for the sign ability that section At All Other Times goes up Nonlinear Mechanism.Therefore, for the normal people of autonomic nervous system function, the function that corresponding function phi becomes when in fact being can be designated as Φ (t).This just is the specific algorithm of our premeasure given below, has provided the physiological explanation of medical science.Therefore, detect TRR with regard to the available above-mentioned approximate expression ξ that obtains belowIn/2Electro-cardio interval time series on time period, thus the specific algorithm of premeasure provided.
(9) utilize the expression formula (1.1), (1.2) and (1.3) of the function ξ that provides in the step (8), riP+1, riP+2..., rP+m(p=n/2 ..., n-m-1) calculate yP+m+1(p=n/2 ..., n-m-1);
(10), can calculate RR interval series { y according to the formula of canonical correlation coefficientP+m+1And { riP+m+1Correlation coefficient CCi-1,
Wherein, y and ri are respectively sequence { yP+m+1And { riP+m+1Average, the numerical value that we provide CCi-1 calls the heart beating interval at i hour one-step prediction degree;
(11) similarly, our RR interval forecasting sequence { y to obtainingP+m+1(p=n/2 ..., n-m-1) can take out m value equally successively, and the method for utilization step (9) generates new RR interval forecasting sequence { y as independent variableJ+m+1(j=n/2+m ..., n-m-1), thereby can obtain new correlation coefficient CCi-2, so the numerical value that we provide CCi-2 calls the heart beating interval at i hour two step premeasures; By that analogy, we can calculate any rational i hour N step premeasure, and the general value of natural number N is 10 ~ 20.Referring to the ten six step premeasures of Fig. 1 about a certain hour of interval of RR aroused in interest;
(12) because a certain hour the premeasure that we often provide is multiple step-length, so we utilize regressive method, provide 1 to N step premeasure CCi-1, CCi-2 ..., the slope S C of CCi-NNi=CCNi/ Ni,
Wherein,
We claim SCNiBe heart beating interval premeasure PI at i hourNi
So far, we utilize the model for heart beating interval structure specifically to calculate the non-linear index of premeasure PI.This index can reflect the autonomic nervous system function quality of regulating cardiac rhythm, strong and weak non-linear index.Just when a certain hour premeasure value relatively hour, show the regulatory function more weak or complete disorder of reflection relatively of autonomic nerve in this hour, opposite then show that the regulatory function of autonomic nerve is stronger in this hour.
The detection method of the non-linear index of heart rate variability---premeasure---of quantitative assessment autonomic nervous function and the basic ideas of model construction have below promptly been provided.Certainly for providing the corresponding nonlinear prediction degree of R peak jerk seasonal effect in time series index, can the clinical medicine physiological mechanism be described with above similar approach.
