Abstract

We hypothesize that increase with age of short-term measures of heart rhythm [a way in which accelerations and decelerations appear], especially dynamical pattern indices [Transition Rates (S T ) or self-Transfer Entropy (sTE)], provide indicates for unhealthy autonomic activity or cardiac tissue remodeling in elderly people. Hence they can help in early recognition of arrhythmogenesis processes.
