A Biomedical Computation Revealed that an Extra-Systolic Heartbeat Exhibits a Lower Scaling Exponent: DFA as a Beneficial Biomedical Tool

We made our own DFA (detrended fluctuation analysis) program. We applied it for checking characteristics for the heartbeat of various individuals. Healthy subjects showed a normal scaling exponent, which is near 1.0 (ranging 0.9 to 1.19 in our own temporary guideline). This is in agreement with the...
