Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. According to the latest statistics on the structure of deaths in the world, in 2016, cardiovascular diseases were the main cause of death (34.2% of all recorded deaths). Moreover, diseases of the cardiovascular system are characterized by a rapid increase in epidemiological importance, practically since the 1950s, which partially stopped at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Radiology and imaging diagnostics, electrophysiology and biochemistry are currently recognized diagnostic methods for cardiovascular diseases. They have gained a further increase in clinical importance in recent years. It is already impossible to imagine modern medicine without the aforementioned diagnostic methods, and the perspective for the next few years will only strengthen this tendency.

We invite you to publish original articles and review papers on the significance and predictive value of new radiological, electrocardiographic and biochemical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.

The dynamics of the collapse of complexity observable in the performance of the cardiovascular system during the stress test is investigated in this paper. For this purpose, the interplay between the RR and JT cardiac intervals is measured and assessed for each participant. This case study involves a modest sample size of eight individuals with normal and elevated blood pressure. Although it is anticipated that the interaction between the RR and JT intervals is rather complex during the stress test, the existence of interpretable time delays between those cardiac intervals is demonstrated using the time delayed patterns algorithm. The assessment of the cardiovascular mobilization taking place during the stress test is also an integral part of this study. The velocity of adaptation index Ad and the newly formulated modified adaptation index Ar (computed only for the recovery phase) are used to quantify the healthy mobilization of the cardiovascular system for each participant. The time frequency analysis of the difference signal between the RR and JT intervals is used to quantify the collapse of complexity around the load termination point. Finally, a semi-gauge indication tool is constructed to assess the overall goodness of the self-organization of the cardiovascular system during the stress test. Full article
