초록

Standard methods estimating the power spectral density(PSD) from an irregularly sampled cardiac event series require deriving a new evenly-spaced signal applicable to those methods. To avoid that requirement, in this study, the power spectrum of heart rate variability was estimated by Lomb-Scargle's algorithm, which is a means of obtaining PSD estimates directly from irregularly sampled timeseries observed in astronomy. To assess the performance of Lomb-Scargle algorithm in the power spectral analysis of heart rate variability, it was applied to various cardiac event series derived through integral pulse frequency modulation model(IPFM) simulation and from real ECG signals, and the resultant power spectra was compared with those obtained by a conventional method based on the FFT. In result, it is concluded that Lomb-Scargle's periodogram is very effective in the power spectral analysis of heart rate variability, especially in the presence of arrhythmia and/or dropouts of cardiac events.
