Abstract | Aortic valve stenosis is the third commonest heart disease in developed countries. When the opening of the aortic valve is narrowed, the ability of the heart to pump blood is severely limited. This inhibits the ability of the circulation system to adapt to changing external requirements. This can drastically change state of the nonlinear system and therefore should be clearly visible in signals coming from it. Aortic valve replacement is connected with a high non-postoperative mortality. It would be interesting to predict the mortality risk based on pre-operative heart rate variability properties. We analyzed 418 heart rate variability recordings from subjects before the operation, who had different stages of aortic valve stenosis (age 22–82, male and female, ejection fraction 10–95%, aortic gradient 28–218 mmHg, where 352 subjects had critical aortic valve stenosis >70 mmHg). In our analysis, besides classical linear heart rate variability measures and echocardiography, we applied Multiscale Multifractal Analysis (MMA) [1] — a method yielding the dependence of the local Hurst exponent as a function of the parameter q and of the scale (the Hurst surface). It is designed to analyze correlation properties of the signal at very low frequencies. We discuss characteristic patterns in the shape of the Hurst surface and abnormalities in heart rate variability of the patients and observe important changes in comparison with the Hurst surface obtained for a group of healthy subjects analyzed in our earlier studies. However, no well-defined correlation of the properties of the Hurst surface with the level of ejection fraction or aortic gradient was obtained. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
