Unexpected course of nonlinear cardiac interbeat interval dynamics during childhood and adolescence.

The fluctuations of the cardiac interbeat series contain rich information because they reflect variations of other functions on different time scales (e.g., respiration or blood pressure control). Nonlinear measures such as complexity and fractal scaling properties derived from 24 h heart rate dynam...
