Variations of Time Irreversibility of Heart Rate Variability Under Normobaric Hypoxic Exposure

In the field of biomedicine, time irreversibility is used to describe how imbalanced and asymmetric biological signals are. As an important feature of signals, the direction of time is always ignored. To find out the variation regularity of time irreversibility of heart rate variability (HRV) in the...

description In the field of biomedicine, time irreversibility is used to describe how imbalanced and asymmetric biological signals are. As an important feature of signals, the direction of time is always ignored. To find out the variation regularity of time irreversibility of heart rate variability (HRV) in the initial stage of hypoxic exposure, the present study implemented 2 h acute normobaric hypoxic exposure on six young subjects who have no plateau or hypoxia experiences; oxygen concentration was set as 12.9%. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were recorded in the whole process and RR interval sequences were extracted. Mathematical operations were executed to transform the difference of adjacent RR intervals into proportion and distance with delay time to conduct time irreversibility analysis of HRV. The same calculating method was implemented on six items randomly picked out from the MIT-BIH normal sinus rhythm database as a control group. Results show that variation of time irreversibility of HRV in a hypoxic environment is different from that in a normoxic environment, time irreversibility indices of a hypoxic group decreases continually at a delay time of 1 and 2, and indices curves of time irreversibility gradually tend to be steady and gather with each other at a delay time of 3 or 4. The control group shows no consistent tendency no matter what the delay time is in the range of 1–4. Our study indicates that in short-time hypoxic exposure, as hypoxic time goes by, regulation of the cardiovascular autonomic nervous system weakens; regulation times and intensity of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves tend to be equal.
