Abstract

In this paper, the method is proposed, which enables us to assess baroreflex sensitivity noninvasively through the closed-loop feedback model between RR fluctuation and arterial blood pressure fluctuation, which are obtained in blood low signals. The proposed indexes of baroreflex sensitivity, $BRS_{LF}$ and $BRS_{HF}$, are calculated by the modulus(or gain) of the transfer unction between two fluctuations above in LF band and HF band, where the coherence is more than 0.5. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, it is applied to blood low signals obtained from subjects at tilt angles of $0^{\circ},\;45^{\circ},\;90^{\circ}$ and $0^{\circ}$ successively. In result, it is concluded that the proposed method enables us to assess baroreflex sensitivity noninvasively.
