Abstract
BACKGROUND Thoraco-abdominal asynchrony (TAA) is usually assessed by respiratory inductance plethysmography. The main parameter used for its assessment is the calculation of the phase angle based on Lissajous plots. However, there are some mathematical limitations to its use. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Sequences of five breaths were selected from a) normal subjects, b) COPD patients, both at rest and during exercise, and c) patients with obstructive apnea syndrome. Automated analysis was performed calculating phase angle, loop rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise), global phase delay and loop area. TAA severity was estimated quantitatively and in subgroups. RESULTS 2290 cycles were analyzed (55% clockwise rotation). Phase angle ranged from -86.90 to + 88.4 degrees, while global phase delay ranged from -179.75 to + 178.54. Despite a good correlation with global phase delay (p < 0.01, ANOVA test), phase angle and loop area were not able to correctly classify breaths with severe deviation and paradoxical movements (p=ns, Bonferroni post hoc test). CONCLUSIONS Global phase delay covers the whole spectrum of TAA situations in a single value. It may be a relevant parameter for diagnosis and follow-up of clinical conditions leading to TAA. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial from which the traces were obtained was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov ;(identifier: NCT04597606).

Abstract
Bioelectrical impedance analysis and bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIA/BIS) of tissues reveal important information on molecular composition and physical structure that is useful in diagnostics and prognostics. The heterogeneity in structural elements of cells, tissues, organs, and the whole human body, the variability in molecular composition arising from the dynamics of biochemical reactions, and the contributions of inherently electroresponsive components, such as ions, proteins, and polarized membranes, have rendered bioimpedance challenging to interpret but also a powerful evaluation and monitoring technique in biomedicine. BIA/BIS has thus become the basis for a wide range of diagnostic and monitoring systems such as plethysmography and tomography. The use of BIA/BIS arises from (i) being a noninvasive and safe measurement modality, (ii) its ease of miniaturization, and (iii) multiple technological formats for its biomedical implementation. Considering the dependency of the absolute and relative values of impedance on frequency, and the uniqueness of the origins of the α-, β-, δ-, and γ-dispersions, this targeted review discusses biological events and underlying principles that are employed to analyze the impedance data based on the frequency range. The emergence of BIA/BIS in wearable devices and its relevance to the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) are introduced and discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, we used ECG signals and repiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) or respiratory bands. We evaluated the performance of the signals individually as well as different combinations of features and signals for sleep apnoea detection. We implemented two methods (QRS area, and fast principal component analysis (PCA) methods) for estimating the ECG derived respiratory (EDR) signal and the cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) spectrum. We then extracted features from the time and frequency representations of the ECG and RIP signals. Finally, we applied different features sets to a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for classification. The results were examined on the MIT PhysioNet Apnea-ECG database. Apnoea classification was carried out using leave-one-record-out crossvalidation approach. The highest performance of our algorithm was achieved using the RIP and RR-interval features as well as using the RIP and PCA CPC features with an accuracy of 90% and AUC of 0.97. The highest performance results of using only RIP or ECG features achieved an accuracy of 87% and AUC of 0.95. We conclude that although ECG sensors are more convenient for patients in sleep studies, using both RIP and ECG sensors enhances the performance results for automated diagnosis of sleep apnoea.

Abstract
Background / Aim. Well-organized cardiovascular rehabilitation (CVR) reduces
cardiovascular burden by influencing cardiovascular risk factors, improving
the quality of life and reducing mortality and hospital readmission.
However, its effects on hemodynamic status are largely unknown. The aim of
our study was to evaluate the influence of three-week CVR program on
hemodynamic status and to investigate if there is a correlation between
physical strain tolerance and hemodynamic parameters measured by impedance
cardiography (ICG) before and after CVR program in patients with coronary
artery disease. Methods. Fifty-two patients attended a three-week CVR
program. At the beginning and at the end of rehabilitation program
laboratory tests, exercise stress tests (EST) and ICG measurements were
taken. Results. Patients showed better strain tolerance on the second
exercise stress test (EST2) by achieving higher strain level (Z=2,315;
p=0,021) and longer duration of test (Z=2,305; p=0,021). There was a strong
positive correlation between the level of EST2 and cardiac output (CO)
(r=0,538; p<0,001) and stroke volume (SV) (r=0,380; p=0,017) on the second
ICG (ICG2). Also, there was a strong negative correlation between EST2 level
and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) (r=-0,472; p=0,002) and SVR index
(SSVRI) (r=-0,407; p=0,010) on ICG2. There was a strong positive correlation
between EST2 duration and CO (r=0.517; p=0.001) as well as between EST2
duration and SV (r=0.340; p=0.034), and a strong negative correlation
between EST2 duration and SVR (r=-0.504; p=0.001) as well as between EST2
duration and SVRI (r=-0.448; p=0.004), according to ICG2. Conclusion. Our
study showed that a well-designed CVR program can lead to better physical
strain tolerance. Furthermore, CVR led to a significant positive correlation
between EST and cardiac output as well as between EST and stroke volume
measured by ICG. On the other hand, there was a significant negative
correlation between EST and vascular related parameters according to ICG at
the end of the CVR program.

Abstract
The aim was to assess accuracy of tidal volumes (TV) calculated by impedance pneumography (IP), reproducibility of calibration coefficients (CC) between IP and pneumotachometry (PNT), and their relationship with body posture, breathing rate and depth. Fourteen students performed three sessions of 18 series: normal and deep breathing at 6, 10, 15 breaths/min rates, while supine, sitting and standing; 18 CC were calculated for every session. Session 2 was performed 2 months after session 1, session 3 1-3 days after session 2. TV were calculated using full or limited set of CC from current session, in case of sessions 2 and 3 also using CC from session 1 and 2, respectively. When using full set of CC from current session, IP underestimated TV by -3.2%. Using CC from session 2 for session 3 measurements caused decrease of relative difference: -3.9%, from session 1 for session 2: -5.3%; for limited set of CC: -5.0%. The body posture had significant effect on CC. The highest accuracy was obtained when all factors influencing CC were considered. The application of CC related only to body posture may result in shortening of calibration and moderate accuracy loss. Using CC from previous session compromises accuracy moderately.

Abstract
A new method to estimate respiratory signal from thoracic impedance is proposed. To realize battery powered, wearable respiratory monitoring devices, low current impedance measurement techniques are desired. However, under low current conditions, conventional methods to separate cardiac and respiratory signals do not work well as the cardiac signal is much larger than the respiratory signal. In the proposed method, respiratory signal is estimated by calculating an envelope curve from the detected T waves of cardiac component. The results of the experiments show that the accuracy of proposed method is greater than conventional method.

Abstract
Background The purpose of the present study was to compare sinusoidal versus constant lower body negative pressure (LBNP) with reference to very mild whole-body heating. Sinusoidal LBNP has a periodic load component (PLC) and a constant load component (CLC) of orthostatic stress, whereas constant LBNP has only a CLC. We tested two sinusoidal patterns (30-s and 180-s periods with 25 mmHg amplitude) of LBNP and a constant LBNP with −25 mmHg in 12 adult male subjects. Results Although the CLC of all three LBNP conditions were configured with −25 mmHg, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) results showed a significantly large decrease from baseline in the 30-s period condition (P <0.01). In contrast, the other cardiovascular indices (heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), basal thoracic impedance (Z0), total peripheral resistance (TPR), the natural logarithmic of the HF component (lnHF), and LF/HF (ln(LF/HF))) of heart rate variability (HRV) showed relatively small variations from baseline in the 30-s period condition (P <0.01). The result of the gain and phase of transfer function at the sinusoidal period of LBNP showed that the very mild whole-body heating augmented the orthostatic responses. Conclusion These results revealed that the effect of the CLC of LBNP on cardiovascular adjustability was attenuated by the addition of the PLC to LBNP. Based on the results of suppressed HRV response from baseline in the 30-s period condition, we suggest that the attenuation may be caused by the suppression of the vagal responsiveness to LBNP.

Abstract
Breathing disorders during sleep are common in congestive heart failure (CHF). Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in CHF can be broadly classified as 2 types: central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes breathing, and obstructive sleep apnea. Prevalence of SDB ranges from 47% to 76% in systolic CHF. Treatment of SDB in CHF may include optimization of CHF treatment, positive airway pressure therapy, and other measures such as theophylline, acetazolamide, and cardiac resynchronization therapy. Periodic limb movements are also common in CHF.

Abstract
Heart failure is a growing problem, placing an increasing burden on public health resources and continuing to exert a high toll in mortality and morbidity. Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is also a major public health problem and is associated with an increased risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events. Current evidence suggests SDB, particularly central SDB, is more prevalent in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) than in the general population, but is under-diagnosed as SDB symptoms are less prevalent in CHF. This is further hampered by the absence of a simple and accurate screening tool and limited access to sleep facilities to diagnose SDB in the large numbers of patients with CHF. The presence of SDB in patients with CHF imposes increased haemodynamic burdens and results in autonomic abnormalities. Central SDB is an independent marker of worse prognosis, and evidence is increasing that obstructive SDB is also associated with higher mortality in patients with CHF. Optimal treatment of central SDB in these patients remains uncertain. While evidence of efficacy of positive pressure ventilation is stronger in obstructive SDB, improvement in survival for patients with both CHF and SDB awaits definitive trials. This paper summarizes our current understanding of the pathophysiology of SDB in CHF, and the cardiovascular consequences, and reviews the evidence for the beneficial effects of treatment of SDB in patients with CHF.

Abstract
It is hypothesized that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be detected from a short-time, daytime recording of the nasal airway pressure, resulting in a screening tool to identify adult patients at risk for OSA. A nonlinear and nonstationary signal analysis technique based on the Hilbert-Huang transform was used to extract signals intrinsic to OSA, using the first two intrinsic mode functions from the empirical mode decomposition. The Hilbert spectrum was centered around 1.5Hz for normal subjects and shifted upward in frequency scale with increased likelihood of OSA. The histogram of the 1.5Hz signal from the Hilbert spectrum was used to compute the apnea percentage for assessing OSA. The proposed method was tested with two data sets. Data set 1 consisted of 18 human subjects with 3 OSA cases from retrospective diagnosis. Data set 2 consisted of 16 subjects who went through a prospective study of the all-night polysomnographic test and the 5-min nasal airway pressure test. The proposed OSA detection method achieved 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for data set 1, 85.7% sensitivity and 100% specificity for data set 2. While further tests will be needed to insure robustness and standardize the instrumentation, the study has demonstrated the feasibility of a rapid screening test for obstructive sleep apnea.
