| Abstract | Reduced ejection fraction (EF), possibly induced/mediated by autonomic abnormal activation, is one of the most powerful predictors of adverse outcome after acute myocardial infarction (MI). A deep understanding of the correlation between the autonomous functionality and the left ventricular performance in these patients is therefore of paramount importance. The autonomous function is reflected in the cardiac activity and, specifically, in the heart rate variability (HRV) signal. Given the cardiac activity nonlinearity, growing interest is being manifested towards nonlinear methods of analysis, which might provide more significant information than the traditional linear approaches. The aim of the present study was to investigate if non-linear HRV metrics change between MI patients with preserved EF (pEF) and MI patients with reduced EF (rEF). Data were acquired in the context of the cardioRisk project. Ten MI patients with rEF and six MI patients with pEF, admitted to Intensive Cardiac Care after a first acute MI episode, were studied. The ECG was acquired during a Holter recording and the tachogram was extracted. Sample entropy (SE) and Lempel-Ziv Complexity (LZC 1 and LZC 2) metrics were computed on five hour long tachogram portions. A significant correlation was found between LZC indices and EF in the whole population; SE, LZC 1 and LZC 2 were significantly higher in patients with pEF. Our results indicate that lower complexity characterizes the HRV of MI patients with rEF. Complexity reduction might be due to a simplification of regulatory mechanisms, which might explain why MI patients with rEF are at higher risk for subsequent non-fatal and fatal events. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
