Abnormalities in Fractal Heart Rate Dynamics in Chagas Disease

Background and Methods: In order to study fractal HR dynamics in Chagas disease, we performed detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA)—along with analysis of power‐law β slope (β index) and standard deviation of N–N intervals (SDNN)—in edited and unedited (with ventricular premature beats — VPBs, only i...
