Maxim Barsukov, a student at St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation, has developed a software and algorithmic complex for studying the relationship between the parameters of the cardiovascular system.
The physiological analysis of the interrelation of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems allows us to get an idea not only about the functioning of these systems themselves, but also about the accompanying processes of nervous regulation that ensure an adequate response to external physical and emotional stress.
The developed program makes it possible to calculate a number of parameters and coefficients for selected study intervals and compare them. An important advantage of the developed program is the ability to analyze the patient’s condition not only in static state, but also in movement. This feature is especially useful in the study of transient processes — dynamic changes in the state of the cardiovascular system that occur in response to various factors such as physical exertion, stress, changes in body position, or even pathology.
More than 100 people took part in the tests. The study showed that the indices characterizing the relationship between the parameters of the cardiovascular system are more sensitive to changes in the body’s condition than the average values of blood pressure and heart rate.
